The beauty of orchids in the home
As promised, I’m going to share with you my favorite plant that I like to have in my home all the time: the …………. ORCHID! Captivating in their beauty and fascinating in their complexity, orchids are easily the most colorful and intricate of all flowering plants.
The fascination with orchids started in 1818 with the well-publicized blooming of a spectacular lavender cattleya. Wealthy collectors and commercial nurserymen put the plant on the market. Today the plant is viewed by designers, wedding and party planners as the star of the show.
I can remember the first time I came in contact with the plant thinking…..this plant is sick! If it where mine I would have put it in the garbage. As the story goes, I grew up and now it is my favorite go-to plant. I usually have orchids throughout the house during the winter months.
If you have a question, comment or a subject you want me to discuss, feel free to contact me using the contact page. Always love hearing from fellow design enthusiast. Have a terrific week!
