"GREG HAREM: It's all about the flowers. Now like I said before, with the tropical packs, they come with the greenery. They also come with usually two gingers, which are these, and two different Heliconias, one much larger than the other. This is kinda like a parrot Heliconia. Now, with your orchids, which are these. Vandas, which come in purples and like a gold. Your dendrobiums, which come in pinks, purples, whites, greens, and this is Bombay. And these are called penny orchids. They also come in a lighter yellow. Now, depending on if this is a male or a female, really dictate which color you want to use. Same with the lilies here. I've chosen the darker lilies for more of a masculine kind of a look. I also chose roses to be used with this also. It gives you kind of a yellowish green, which will give you kind of a more earthy kinda feel to this."
