Exotics are extraordinary flowers, they may be a little costly but there worth it in the sense that they do last longer than the average flower. They can be simple in a vase with some ornamental grass or made into a arrangement like this one, which I made for Macy's department store for Black History month. My design has ginger, lucidendrum, cymbidium orchids, mokara orchids, banksia, antherium and miscellaneous grasses and foliage.
