2,168 flower shops across 329 cities and towns
Florida's state flower is the orange blossom, and the state is a major gateway for the American flower trade, a large share of the roses and carnations sold across the country arrive through Miami from Colombia and Ecuador before being distributed north.
For a Florida buyer that means unusually short supply chains on imported stems: flowers here have often spent a day less in transit than the identical bunch in Chicago. Locally, the subtropical climate supports tropical material. Orchids, anthuriums, birds of paradise, ginger, that is expensive elsewhere and routine here. Heat is the enemy: keep arrangements out of the car and inside air conditioning.
