Orchids Could Make a Prison Cell Look Pretty
One of my closest girlfriends got married this last weekend and happily I was asked to decorate the seating chart table. We filled it with gorgeous orchids, which I am now blissfully babysitting until the happy couple returns from their honeymoon. I am actually a little shocked at the impact three large potted orchids have had on my room. For about a $100 my living/dining room looks very handsomely dressed! I am once again reminded what a living plant can do to dress up a space. Here is a link for my new orchid desktop background. I think we should all be twinsies, so go download yours now!

I love orchids...but I have heard that they are quite finicky flowers and haven't been brave enough to bring any home.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Amy! Lucky you! I love orchids, but I would be afraid I would kill them! Thanks for your comment, being virtually unemployed, it is easy to spend much time in the blogosphere! LOL! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI swoon every time I walk by the collection of orchids at Lowe's. I have always thought they were hard to take care of, but I have a friend who says that she just tosses hers a few ice cubes a week and it does just fine.
ReplyDeleteI like the group of different sized pots. If I buy orchids it's like inviting plants to be murdered.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are hands down the most amazing plant to me. They thrive just leaving them alone, and I love what putting them outside in the humidity of summer in the deep south does for them.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos!
(You better prepare yourself, you will really miss them when their mama gets back!)
Love the title lol So true! Orchids are the flowers I am using in my wedding.
ReplyDeleteI have killed many an orchid. I kept one alive for two years, flowers fell off and I had just what was left. I kept hoping it would flower again but it didn't. I live in Phoenix, we have no moisture, they must hate it. That poster is really nice.
ReplyDeletelove it!!! i love orchids... always wanted to get a vanilla one!!!
ReplyDeletethat's the best title: in fact, i vote it for title of the year. yes, orchids could make a prison cell look pretty!! i agree!
ReplyDeleteI just got to keep a bouquet of orchids from a wedding...so pretty! These pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I adore orchids! Almost bought some tonight but then I remembered the time I killed mine...I vow to try again one day :)
ReplyDeleteI love orchids, they are so bright and exotic! Love that chair, how funny! lol x
ReplyDeleteWow...I'll go and download mine right now. Orchids are my favourite flower! They are so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!

BTW: I am following you:)
I have a fake orchid in my dining room that really spruces up the space :)
ReplyDeleteThat orchid chair is a must have! Breath taking!
ReplyDeleteLoved the tittle post.
ReplyDeleteI have plants, at least 10 of them, the only thing is they are all in the balcony as they die the minute I bring them into the house.
So, when I have a dinner or just company and I want to step it up a knotch I just bring them all in.
The one thing I DO is make sure they are all in white planters, so they match the white floor... and the green stands out.
