Curcuma is coming on strong in the North American Market. I’m seeing it posted more and more online from the various flower wholesalers and thought it would be fun to take a closer look at this flower. I surfed online for inspirational photos and found that it’s currently used mostly in Europe and South America as you’ll see below. I have a feeling that within a year we’ll be seeing this cool flower in more American & Canadian Floral Designs!
