When it comes to floral arrangements, i rarely think about buying cut orchids. My potted orchids usually last for months (and I've been lucky enough to have one blooming continuously for 16 months!). Still, the blooms are absolutely gorgeous, and I can see the appeal of cut orchids. Source: Photo by Andrew Grinton Do You Decorate With Cut Orchids? Yes, I love cut orchids. No, I Read more
I wish I had discovered this Mango Orchid Bouquet ($12.95) a little bit sooner, as it would have made a fun gift for Mother's Day. What do you think, would you buy these chocolate dipped mangoes on a stick? Mango Orchid Bouquet: Love It or Hate It? Love It Hate It Undecided Read more
When I walked into the preview for the Governors Ball, the suspended globes immediately caught my eye. However, once I was able to pull my gaze down, my eyes became lost in the drama that is the floral arrangement. There are over 15,000 roses, in 15 different shades of red, and they're accompanied by golden orchids imported from Thailand several days before the event. The cocktail tables are Read more
