Exotic Beauty, Delivered

Exotic flowers in Dubai — striking bouquets for every occasion

Exotic flowers turn an ordinary gift into a statement. Our collection features over 40 arrangements built around orchids, anthuriums, proteas, and birds of paradise — species that thrive in the UAE's warm climate and hold their colour for 7–14 days after delivery. You can order exotic flowers in Dubai and receive same-day delivery to any address across the Emirates when you place your order before 2:00 PM.

What makes exotic flowers stand out in Dubai

Exotic flowers carry bold shapes and vivid pigments that standard roses or carnations rarely match. A single bird of paradise stem reaches up to 120 cm tall and opens into an orange-and-blue crest. Protea heads measure 15–20 cm in diameter — large enough to anchor an entire arrangement on their own. These details matter in Dubai, where grand interiors, hotel lobbies, and celebration venues call for dramatic floral centrepieces.

Dubai's flower market imports over 500 million stems annually, and tropical varieties now account for a growing share. Local florists receive fresh stock from Kenya, Ecuador, Thailand, and the Netherlands multiple times each week, so your bouquet arrives at peak freshness.

Popular types of exotic flowers you can order

Exotic flowers span dozens of species. Below you'll find the most requested varieties in our Dubai catalogue, along with guidance on when each one works best.

Bird of Paradise — the showpiece

Strelitzia reginae originates from South Africa. Each bloom resembles a tropical bird in flight — an orange crest flanked by deep-blue petals. This flower works well in tall vases (50 cm and above) and pairs naturally with monstera leaves. Our florists arrange bird of paradise stems in clusters of 3, 5, or 7 for maximum visual impact.

King Protea — bold and long-lasting

King Protea holds the record for one of the longest vase lives among cut flowers — up to 21 days with proper care. The head opens to a diameter of roughly 20 cm, revealing layers of soft, felt-like petals in pink, ivory, or burgundy. You can also dry protea blooms and keep them as décor for months.

Orchids — versatile elegance

Orchids belong to the Orchidaceae family, which contains roughly 28,000 species worldwide. In our exotic flowers collection, Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium varieties dominate. A potted Phalaenopsis orchid can bloom continuously for 2–3 months, which makes orchids one of the most cost-effective luxury gifts per day of enjoyment.

Anthurium — sleek and contemporary

Anthurium produces a waxy, heart-shaped spathe in red, white, pink, or green. Each spathe lasts 14–21 days. Anthuriums suit minimalist interiors across Dubai Marina, Downtown, and JBR — spaces where clean lines and bold colour matter more than volume.

How to choose exotic flowers for your occasion

Exotic flowers serve different roles depending on the occasion. Use these practical guidelines to pick the right variety and size.

• Corporate gifts and Eid celebrations — choose orchid arrangements in white and green tones, which reflect elegance and respect during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
• Birthdays and anniversaries — select mixed bouquets that combine 2–3 exotic species (for example, proteas with cymbidium orchids) for a layered, textural look.
• Weddings and engagements — opt for bird of paradise or heliconia stems when the venue features high ceilings; pick anthuriums for intimate table settings.
• Sympathy and condolence — stick to white orchids or pale-green anthuriums, and avoid bright reds or oranges.
• Housewarming — a potted orchid lasts weeks longer than a cut bouquet and doubles as living décor in a new home.

Quick checklist before you order exotic flowers in Dubai

A few small decisions shape the final result. Run through this checklist before you place your order.

• Confirm the delivery date — same-day delivery requires orders placed before 2:00 PM local time (GST).
• Specify the vase preference — some exotic stems need tall, narrow vases (40 cm+) to stand upright.
• Add a personal message — our system supports Arabic and English greeting cards at no extra cost.
• Check building access — gated communities in Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, and Palm Jumeirah may require a gate code or security clearance.
• Note any allergies — oriental lilies produce heavy pollen; orchids and anthuriums do not.

Caring for exotic flowers in the UAE climate

Dubai's summer temperatures exceed 40 °C outdoors, but indoor spaces stay air-conditioned at roughly 22–24 °C. Exotic flowers perform well in cooled interiors. Follow these steps to extend vase life.

• Trim each stem at a 45-degree angle every 2–3 days to improve water absorption.
• Replace the water daily — warm climates encourage bacteria, which shortens vase life by up to 50 %.
• Keep the arrangement away from direct sunlight and AC vents — both cause rapid dehydration.
• Remove wilted petals immediately to prevent ethylene buildup around fresh blooms.
• Add the flower-food sachet included with your delivery; the sachet contains sugar, citric acid, and a bactericide.

Potted orchids need different attention. Water a Phalaenopsis once every 7–10 days — overwatering kills orchid roots faster than underwatering. Place the pot near a north-facing window or behind a sheer curtain.

Common mistakes when buying exotic flowers

Even experienced buyers slip up. Avoid these errors to get the best value from exotic flowers in Dubai.

Choosing only by colour. Colour matters, but vase life differs greatly across species. A heliconia bouquet lasts roughly 10 days, while a protea bouquet lasts 21 days. Factor longevity into your budget.

Ignoring stem proportions. Bird of paradise stems can reach 120 cm. A standard 25-cm tabletop vase won't support them. Ask your florist for a vase recommendation before checkout.

Ordering too late for same-day delivery. Our cut-off time falls at 2:00 PM GST. Orders placed after that time move to next-morning delivery.

Mixing exotic species without guidance. Not every exotic flower pairs well together. Heliconias release sap that can clog shared water. Your florist can suggest compatible groupings.
