About Exotic Flowers

Embarking upon his ambition to fulfill the American dream, Arnold "Sonny" Canale bought Lombardi Florist in 1957. He had been an employee there since 1943. Lombardi's had been a successful florist and nursery since the early 1900's. In 1959, Sonny married Marie "Russo" Canale and merged Lombardi's with her family's florist, Russo's Florist. Foreseeing the changing economy in the coming millennium, Sonny adopted the name Exotic Flowers as its primary signature for doing business in 1993. In 1994 a satellite location was opened at 2 Dartmouth Street in Boston's South End. In 1995, in order to expand our services, we opened a full service floral shop and garden center on route 3A in Cohasset. In June 2001 our flagship store opened at the greenhouse at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Roslindale remains company headquarters. All phone calls, on line orders, and deliveries emanate from this location. Exotic Flowers remains a family owned and operated business. Sonny and Marie's children all play integral roles in the future of the company.

Our shop serves the entire greater Boston area.

Our Faneuil Hall Marketplace store is located next to historic Faneuil Hall. We opened this store in 2001. This store is a 3000 square foot greenhouse and showcases all of our gifts inside and on its 3000 square foot patio. Our Roslindale store is located at 609 American Legion Highway South in Boston, MA 02131. We are next to the KFC and feature a year round garden center, two full greenhouses, and remains our production facility and headquarters.
