'Tropical Splendour' Cymbidium Orchid floristry design

• How Orchids are Grown ... Never have I seen an orchid that reminds me of a harvest sunset or a warm tropical sun. The golden yellow of this orchid with its red lipstick markings is beyond words! This is a stunning design and super easy to put together. I think that orchids really say it all and possibly the only flower in the botanical world that can totally stand alone. Throw in a bit of foliage and the job is done!
The container I used is yet another boring vase I decoupaged. See this video for decoupage instructions: • How to decoupage a cer...
Things to gather:
- Palm fronds, arelia leaves and a bit of Spanish moss or just whatever makes you think of tropical places.
- Twisty willow and or spiky branches to bring through the colourings of the container.
- 2 stems of Rijsenhout cymbidium orchids.
What I love is that I can create designs right here in NZ and know that finally they can be found in a flower market near you! Once again, a big thank you to Ruby Orchids NZ & New Zealand Blooms for the opportunity of going behind the scenes to experience the close-up beauty of the most magnificent orchids. If only thing I have a greater appreciation of the time and work involved in growing these so that we floral designers have what our artistic minds desire. Ruby Orchids are available exclusively through New Zealand Bloom.

Wow! This yellow is exquisite! Really gorgeous arrangement that makes me think of a beautiful banquet by a tropical sea 🏝️ I can’t believe you STILL aren’t in your studio! That must be so frustrating!!! But all the rooms in your home make a lovely backdrop for your work!!!

Hi Jesse, news. I'm back in the studio and just time time for the 2nd Great Botanical Journey. It's a marvellous feeling to finally have things in place and contained in one area. The dining room just wasn't working for me and nor was the kitchen bench. Warm regards Astar
