The Palmetto State
The sabal palmetto is the official state tree of South Carolina, and its abundance in the state gave rise to the nickname “the Palmetto State.” This moniker actually dates back to 1861, when South Carolina seceded from the Union. Many today remember that Fort Sumter in South Carolina was where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The palmetto appeared on the state flag ever since then, and it is immediately recognizable to those familiar with South Carolina.
To send a flower arrangement that invokes this state nickname, consider selecting tropical flowers and foliage. Florists can use palm leaves, like those of the palmetto, along with other striking greens such as aspidistra leaves, ti leaves, aurelia leaves, and sago palms. To accompany the foliage try beautiful tropical flowers such as orchids, anthurium, birds of paradise, protea, and ginger.
Rainbow Row
A row of 13 historic homes in Charleston, South Carolina was dubbed "Rainbow Row” in the 1930s while they were being restored and repainted in a variety of happy hues. These homes located between Tradd St. and Elliot St. on East Bay St. comprise the longest cluster of Georgian row houses in the United States.
A flower arrangement based on the aesthetic of Rainbow Row is an ideal choice for birthday flowers or a get-well flower arrangement as it is sure to bring a ray of sunshine to the recipient. When choosing a ‘rainbow’ flower arrangement one can experiment with many different floral varieties and colors. The colors can be scattered throughout the flower arrangement, or each color can be clustered together to create a true rainbow effect.
The Grand Strand
Locals and tourists alike are familiar with South Carolina’s Grand Strand, which is a 60-mile stretch of beaches that extends from Little River to Georgetown. This is a prime destination for entertainment with many resorts and golf courses. Myrtle Beach being on the most well known vacation spots there.
A beach-y flower arrangement can be enjoyed any time of year, whether it is sent in anticipation of a summer getaway, or received in the middle of winter when a reminder of warmer times is welcomed. Aside from tropical flowers, other blooms with beach vibes are wildflower varieties such as thistle, scabiosa, lisianthus, bear grass, and anemones. For an extra special touch, a florist could incorporate seashells, rustic driftwood, or sponge-like reindeer moss into the design.
