Featured Flowers - February 2019

This month, your bouquet celebrates the exotic beauty of two different orchid varieties. Both are are grown in Thailand where there are many hybrid and wild orchid species. Israeli Ruscus, the greens accompanying your orchids, are grown in California and they will try very hard to outlast your orchids!

These orchids bloom in alternating sequences and under the proper conditions; they take quite a long time to wither. In fact, the last time we sent out similar hybrid orchids, we had several customers call to tell us that theirs had lasted more than 4 weeks! They must have had excellent care, and perhaps the location of the vase was just right to sustain them. For any cut flower to last four weeks is very unusual! On the other end of the spectrum, some wild orchid species bloom and wither all at once… needless to say we won't be sending you those!
