INTRODUCTIONGod must have created tropical flowers from warm glows lighting His heart or twinkles in His eyes for these same emotions stir humankind at each glimpse.Analytical scientists say, literally, tropical flora should be born and live within terrestrial belts parallel to the equator, boiind by celestial Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn at 23°27' north and south. Since these tropics spawn diverse chmatic ranges, by altitude, from humid jungles to snow-capped peaks, semantic and horticultural values clash.Plantsmen use "tropical" to designate flower characteristcs and requirements of warmth-loving plants of lower altitudes in both the tropics and sub-tropics. (Exotica has Hmits of these marked on a world map.) Tropical flowers, thus, are discovered growing outdoors in warm climates or in planned environments indoors such as those provided in botanical gardens, office buildings and private homes.Synergetic symbiosis or at least intimate cooperation - between plants and humankind, shuffled distribution and improved hybrids by natural selection of original flowers so greatly that arguments arise, even today, over origins or native ownership.
