Different types of flowers have adapted to grow naturally in the three different climate zones of the globe. These zones include the tropical, temperate, and polar zones. Tropical flowers are are abundant, as many different plant species thrive in a climate that is largely non-arid and warm. Flowers that are native to the tropics are those that grow naturally in areas that lie between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer.
This area includes the most fertile areas of China, Africa, and South America. Other tropical locations include the Congo Basin, and parts of the United States, Mexico, and Australia. If you live in these areas, it is relatively easy to grow flowers native to the area, as native tropical flowers enjoy the warm temperatures and frequent rainfall these areas receive.

Tropical flowers are truly a beautiful addition to gardens and yards, giving people gorgeous landscapes and attracting birds and other species to enjoy their nectar and natural coverage.
You can try to grow flowers from other climates such as the temperate and polar zones in a tropical landscape, but largely you will need to grow these in a greenhouse setting where you can control the rainfall and temperature these plants receive. Plants that are not native to the tropical climate may not thrive in such a warm, wet climate as you would find in the Tropics.
