Local flowers in the Bahamas?

Hello - I've posted this question in Home %26amp; Garden also...





I'm getting married in the Bahamas next May, and would like to have local/native flowers for my bouquet, centerpieces and decorations. Does anyone know a few species that are readily found in the Bahamas?





Importing can be very expensive and I'm not much of a 'flower person' to begin with. I'm drawn to exotic looking flowers in vivid colors.

Local flowers in the Bahamas?
mmmmmmmmm...that is a great question. The only thing I could suggest is to call several local floral places and ask. I use to work at a floral store many years ago and I can give you the name. It is The Island Florist and the number is 242-341-4419. You can tell then Tishka recommend then to you. You can also try the Ministry of Tourism Wedding Programm as 242-326-5371 or fax at 242-356-0434. In addition the HELP LINE at 242-326-4357 between 9a-11pm daily. Good luck.

Reply:Although The Bahamas are full of flowers, you have to be careful. Olanders are poisonous - (bad for young kids) - but can look nice; Hibiscus (pink, red, yellow and white) are difficult because they naturally close up and wilt in the afternoon - but for a morning wedding they would be nice; Bougainvilla (multi colours in large cascading bunches) and great and last a long time - but you wouldn't want them in a bridal bouquet because they have thorns; Yellow Elder are the national flower, but hard to get in quantities (they are yellow!); Poinciana is very nice (bright red), but you have to be a bit careful as it stains. Your best bet is probably to have a bridal bouquet of imported flowers with local flowers used in general decoration.
