The flower varieties below are an indication of what is available in Cyprus in the times shown, this is not hard and fast and is meant as a general guide only. But these are the kinds of flowers you can expect to find in a bouquet from Cyprus flowers.

Also find below some tips on how to get the best from your cut flowers in the hot weather in a climate such as Cyprus'. Please be aware that the general 'good condition' of cut flowers is by consensus from 2 to 4 days in the summer, whilst in the winter one may expect double that and with certain hardy flowers such as chrysanthemums and some strains of carnation, even longer.

Do consider a pot plant or arrangement of plants in a basket as an alternative to cut flowers. They last longer.

**We are a VERY hot country in the summer. Flowers do not last very long unless kept in a fridge, which all florists do. Sometimes, depending on the journey to deliver them and whether the recipient has air conditioning, a bouquet may only last from 1 to 4 days, so we do recommend that you send a plant instead of cut flowers if the recipient may get upset at the complete waste of money.
