While at work today, I was curious about the kind of flowers the country of Bali grows throughout the year. Springfield Missouri is part of zone six for growing plants and such; therefore, we cannot grow tropicals throughout the year. All of our tropical plants that you see throughout Springfield, such as hibiscus and bougainvillea are imported from more tropical climates. After some research, I have discovered that Bali, with it being an island, easily grows tropical plants and flowers. Some of the most common flowers found in Bali are orchid, lily varieties, lotus flowers, and gardenia. These flowers are the kind of flowers that many individuals in Springfield love to see. However, in Springfield, they will not thrive and will die out after a season. I look forward to seeing all of the tropical plants in their natural habitat and be able to appreciate each one as they thrive in the hot and humid climate.
