I thought that it needed a stark contrast which the white flowers would provide. Photographs don't do this combination of painting and flowers justice. Everything about this design was oversized. <br />Thank you for your very lovely compliment.

When I designed the arrangement there were many doubts by the "people in charge" who wondered if a weapon was appropriate for their event. It stayed and visitors to the show gave positive reviews.

Once they are blooming, they don't need light. In fact, it will slow down their growth and last at least 3 to 4 months in bloom. All you have to do is give it a little water once or twice a week. Just remember not to place it near direct sunlight or next to heat such as a fireplace. The best orchid for you would be a Phalaenopsis, also called Butterfly orchid. <br />They even survive on their own while we are away for 2 weeks.
