Every region in the world is blessed with aromatic flower plants. Some flower plants are annual - which means that they complete one growing season and die. They need to be replanted. In contrast, perennials live on for three years or more and they need to be planted only once. Some plants are biennials that grow every two years and survive for two years. However, the tropical regions have a vast variety of flowers due to varied climates and different soils. Perennial floral plants native to tropical areas are mogra, lily, bougainvillea, Asiatic lily, geranium, and many more. There is a concentration of floral absolute oil suppliers in the tropical regions due to the nearness of the source of raw material.
