What makes a tropical paradise, well, a paradise? For most people, it’s the spectacular scenery, the temperate weather and often, the native flora. When visiting Puerto Rico, you can expect amazing sunsets, gorgeous ocean views, beautiful weather and a visual feast brought to you by native Puerto Rican flowers. The All Events Puerto Rico website talks about some of the island’s most beautiful blooms, and how you can incorporate them into your celebrations (planning a destination wedding?) – or just enjoy their unique loveliness.
- Amapolas: These are also known as poppy flowers. They vary in color but most familiar are the amapolas in shades of red. They are a symbol of good luck.
- Bougainvillea: Bougainvillea comes in numerous bright colors including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white and yellow. They are sometimes referred to as paper flowers because their leaves are thin and papery. They are popular as ornamental plants.
- Flamboyan: These flowers are beloved throughout the Caribbean, and are “flame-like” because of their long, bright orange or scarlet petals. Flamboyan are considered a symbol of Puerto Rico.
- Heliconia: Known also as lobster claw or false bird-of-paradise. These flowers have large, gorgeous blooms that come in a number of colors, including yellow, orange, red, pink, green and purple.
- Maga: The flor de maga is the national flower of Puerto Rico. They are found all throughout the island and are generally brilliant pink or red in color. While they closely resemble the hibiscus flower, they belong to a different species.
- Orchids: Always elegant, orchids come in a number of colors and hues, from lavender purple to a deep reddish purple. There are 143 types of orchids native to Puerto Rico.

My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Maria’s. We rented the property for three days/nights. We wanted to make our destination wedding as accessible as possible for our family and friends. Maria’s was the perfect place. Twelve of our closest friends and family shared the house. I was so impressed that Maria’s had everything we needed, even little things like laundry detergent.
