My Love For Orchids

I have only ONE problem.

I cannot decide who is my true love.

I love both Orchids and Peonies and I cannot decide who I should love more.

I shall first show you my love for Orchid in this post.

This bouquet was a pink-tinged variation with

white cymbidium orchids, tied with a silver-gray ribbon.

This bouquet included white gardenias, peonies, tulips, and cymbidium orchids.

This compact oval cascade is lively with fiery hues. 

Cheerful little narcissus with orange centers dance 

among freckled vanda orchids, red-striped roses, 

and deep-orange gloriosa lilies with buttery edges. 

Young gloriosa blooms with their still-green petals provide contrast.

Pinkish-purple hues and splashy markings pull together an 

unexpected blend of exotic vanda orchids and parrot tulips with striped garden roses. 

Beadlike white-tipped gomphrena and a tailored satin bow are appropriate finishings 

for the elegant and quite formal composition.

What appears to be a single luxurious bloom is formed from layer upon layer of cymbidium orchid petals. 

White at the center, the cluster gradually becomes a coy pink: 

The trick is using petals from blossoms of varying shades. 

Pairs of petals are slipped on wires, then assembled to create the unique bouquet. 

The wire stems are wrapped in velvet ribbon and tied with two satin bows that match the bottommost petals.

An ethereal bouquet gets its elegance from fluttery sweet peas and emerald-striped lady's slipper orchids, 

bundled together with white satin ribbon.

Graceful, arching stalks of many-blossomed cymbidium orchids create a wonderfully festive hand-tied bouquet.

Buttercream-and-pink phalaenopsis orchids flutter like butterflies 

among ruffle-edged, magenta garden roses, pale-pink rounded garden roses, 

and still paler spray roses. 

The tails of a light yellow ribbon emphasize the bouquet's downward sweep.
