Re: Loose orchid blossoms....Where?!?

we wanted to do do loose orchids in a centeroiece (on our own) since there were orchids in my b-k and my dh's bout

howerver these beautiful flowers run very very very expensive per stem

they are also really difficult to work with in general...my florist told me that if I ordered loose orchids from her to do the centerpiece ourselves she would get them bt to be very very aware


we even tried getting fakes...either they did not look as nice or were soooooo expensive


in the end wwe just had the orchids in my b-k and my husband's bout ...but damn did they look amazing .....never doubted my choice even though my husband's bout fell apart as the evening progressed and mine b-k did not stand up that well in the drying process

there are two types of orchids that i want....the cymbrodium ones (i probably spelled that wrong) which i'd like to have in my BoK those are the more expensive ones, I plan to have a florist make mine...(who did u use, how $$ and do u have pics )......then there is the centerpiece....loose dendroboiudm orchids those are cheaper i've seen 1000 for $150.......
