Allan Carr is widely sought after by name throughout the wholesale tropical flower industry. It is most often identified by its sturdy stem which splits at the top and gives way to a beautiful bloom displaying orange, yellow, and red tones.
Description: The Allan Carr stands approximately 4 feet tall but can easily be cut down to size for use in smaller bouquets. The Allan Carr very closely resembles another variety called Tropic Fleur. The primary difference between these two varieties is that the blooms on the Allan Carr include orange, yellow, and red tones, while the blooms on Tropic Fleur are most often limited to yellow and orange tones.

- Wet flower heads and foliage daily to prevent dehydration.
- Keep flowers away from heat sources, air conditioning ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
- Ginger and Heliconia should be stored at temperatures above 65 degrees F.
- Bird of Paradise should be stored at temperatures above 45 degrees F.
