Built from the documented origin of every flower in our encyclopedia. We distinguish native origin (where a flower comes from in the wild) from commercial growing (where it is farmed and exported for the cut-flower trade). We map countries only — not individual farms or plantations.

From the Lacy Bird studio
Knowing where a flower is grown is the first lesson in sourcing it well — the heart of Lacy Bird Academy, where working designers teach the trade. If you would rather receive the flowers than track them, we deliver bouquets across Dubai. And every stem on this map has its own page in our flower encyclopedia.
