Sequel: Easy to Make Spring Orchid Arrangement
I love orchids and flowers. Cut flowers in a vase in an open house adds warmth and smiles to guests when they enter the property. But it can be expensive if you don't have a flower garden you can harvest cuttings from.
So, I made these arrangements that I use for my open houses, or for staging purposes. They are very simple, foolproof, and inexpensive. They don't need tending, watering, and can be used repeatedly.  If you're inclined to try, I posted the process here: Easy to Make Spring Orchid Arrangement.
The arrangements below were made using the steps linked above.  With … (12 comments)
