Orchids, Rhizomes, Gingers, Heliconias etc., which are more popular with the flower lovers are Tropical Flowers.Tropical Flowers are those that thrive naturally in tropical climatic conditions.
All the tropical flowers happen to be alien for other geographic regions of the world viz., Temperate and Polar regions where they are referred to as Exotic Flowers. All tropical flowers are thus exotic to the Americas and Europe. But not necessarily all exotic flowers are tropical flowers.
The tropics are the geographic region of the Earth centered on the equator and limited in latitude by the two tropics: the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere.
