Exotic pink flowers

Exotic pink flowers The color pink was first recorded in the 17th century, where it was used to describe pale red flowers. Since then, it has become associated with femininity or objects that are considered feminine; it has also been attributed to religious imagery. In the Catholic religion, pink (or rose) symbolizes joy and happiness. Many couples prefer pink flowers at their weddings because they connote the same love and passion of red, but softer and gentler.

Orchids are the most common exotic pink flowers that can live in every environment except glaciers and deserts. They’re commonly found in the tropics–especially prominent in Asia, South America and Central America. Pink orchids (phalaenopsis) are epiphytes, which mean that they grow on other trees. They’re also favorable because they are the some of the easiest flowers to care for; pink orchids are sold as potted plants because they reproduce with ease and thrive in artificial environments.

Red roses are tokens of passionate love, but those who want something subtler should look at tea roses. A result of mixing China roses with Bourbons and Noisette roses, the tea rose is a fantastic example of tender, pink exotic flowers. The petals on this flower roll back, and produce a pointed tip and the stalk is weak–often resulting in a nodding or slumped look.

For something a little showier, hibiscus flowers are large and trumpet-shaped. They are native throughout Asia, especially around Malaysia and South Korea (both of which use the hibiscus for the national flower). In tropical and subtropical climates, the Chinese hibiscus is the most popular ornamental flower.

Anthuriums are popular exotic pink flowers that are native to Columbia and Ecuador and they’re sometimes called the flamingo lily. They grow in many forms, but they commonly climb as epiphytes–their roots often hang down in the canopy of the rainforest. The waxy-pink leaves usually have a yellow spike that juts out of the middle.

Dicentra is native to Asia and sometimes called bleeding heart because the exotic pink flowers look like a heart with a drop of blood descending. Bleeding hearts can grow in beautiful rows, but need moist and fertile growing environments. They die back in the summer, where they will remain dormant.

Poinsettias are exotic pink flowers that are native to Mexico. The Aztecs revered the flower because they used it to produce dye and as antipyretic medication. Technically, the upper leaves are pale red (called bracts) while the actual flowers are yellow and grouped in the center of each bunch of leaves. Poinsettias can grow up to 10 feet tall and have become popular gifts in the US due to their size and abundance (they are the best-selling potted plant).
