The Experience
Flowers by Flores (also known as Flowers R Us at this location) operates as a full-service florist from 129 Cannegieter Street. The shop stocks fresh cut flowers, including tropical varieties that reflect the Caribbean setting, alongside custom arrangements, bouquets, potted plants, and gift baskets. Event services cover weddings — a steady business on an island that hosts hundreds of destination weddings annually — as well as birthdays, anniversaries, and sympathy arrangements. Delivery is available across the island, which is particularly useful for visitors who want flowers waiting at a hotel room or vacation rental upon arrival. The Cannegieter Street location sits in the heart of Philipsburg's commercial district, making it easy to combine a flower purchase with other errands in the area. The duty-free accessible setting means competitive pricing on imported blooms that would cost more in many mainland locations.
What to Try
Custom arrangements for special occasions are the shop's strength — describe the event and setting, and the florists design to match. Tropical flower selections showcase island-specific varieties. Delivery to hotels and vacation rentals works well for surprise arrangements.
Insider Tip
If planning a destination wedding, consult with the shop well in advance about seasonal flower availability. Tropical blooms are reliable year-round, but specific imported varieties may need ordering lead time.
