My son, who's 11, made an origami orchid for me for mother's day - I got it early this morning because I'll be out of town this weekend. He put it in a tall glass vase with green spagnum moss. It's pure white and I thought it was an actual orchid at first. It's even better than a real one... it was 'grown' with love! -- one happy mom

[@sprinklesprinkle5313]

I spent almost 3 straight hours trying to do this.... The end of it became a game of ‘fold the paper in the general direction it needs to be in’.... my advice: use a LARGE square of THIN paper. 10/10 tutorial, great job!! I’ll be back when I get good paper.

[@aprocesss]

i was wondering why the sinks were so weird doing the folding by looking at the diagrams and i got stuck. you helped me there :) The final product is really beautiful and worth the effort. I looked up for a real orchid on the internet and tried to shape mine according to it.

[@fabiog.6345]

Whoa! Extremely challenging, but satisfactory at the end. Brilliant design and helpful instructions! ;)

[@madsrasmussen001]

i just finish mine.... its a nice folded ball of paper..... i will make a comback latER!

[@TeeKatano]

He lost me at 14:30. Heart crushed.

[@redstonesocialist9547]

You don't like sinks?

[@wavylava]

Are there step by step instructions in writing as well for this flower somewhere?

[@kiwication]

tadashimori, you are a genious just like robert j. lang! just to let you know you have created really fantastic models. especially the hummingbird! i'm a big fan of you

[@RatchetTM]

Got it! Did it out of printer paper and it actually turned out nice! Perhaps I could give it to someone special...

[@tillybumbilly]

I just finished my first orchid :) ! It came out beautiful! Thanks again!

[@CallmeJoeBob]

This is awesomeness!! And I agree, Robert Lang is a genius!

[@tillybumbilly]

YOU ARE SO GOOD! I just can't believe your origami! Thank you so much!

[@VPGabrielInc]

I did it! Thanks Tadashi Mori! :)

[@DWVHYDE]

Wow I love this fold! I haven't even finished it yet but it's a nice challenge with some interesting and challenging folds XD Lang is a genius =)

[@mobradovic00]

Now i know exactly what book i want for my birthday :)

[@marcusaureliust9]

Which is the size of the paper? What paper do you recommend using? Do you think I can manage making 21 orchids before June 21st if I am almost inexperienced in making origami figures?

[@jorge11enrique]

What size of paper did u use? Do u know if beginners can do this amazing orchid

[@annie0tan]

Oh my god!! I actually finished such a difficult model! I'm soooo happy! :):)

[@arromy6911]

Great model, great video, thanks.

[@6895Anna]

I'm going to try this one, I can already sense the emotional turmoil it's going to put me through.

[@DrDanielMolinaGr]

Really Nice one origami! Thank u for the tips.

[@Dear11xin]

LOL, I had heart attacks when I am was skimming through this video

[@andrewlibbylong]

Wonderful tutorial!

[@davidgburnett]

Thank you very much for the instructions!

[@madsrasmussen001]

i am working to make the a rly nice gift for girl with this design. but after 1-2 hour studying the step at 14-15 minute in the video i was nearly going to drop it. but I think i got it rigth with to of the 4 sides know. so maybe i finish it tomorrow

[@ane9898]

so confusing :@ it's so scary when it's time for unfolding, because i can't tell which one is what

[@gregoryskaff4718]

Janevlynn, Did you figure it out yet? It's been 3 years.

[@manavdingagrawal3246]

Janvilion, Have you figured it out now? It's now 5 years

[@lawxq]

Took me 2 attempts and more than 4 hours, but I finally did it!

[@velmavelvet2263]

I completed this model but it didn't look very good. I used a 10 inch regular origami paper. What is the best paper for this?

[@ERu0ZenSytion]

VERY EASY AND VERY PRETTY =O= I LOVE IT!!

[@hera609]

wow.. im gonna try this... thanks tadashomori.. i have a request. can u upload a video on how to make a kawasaki rose? (a littl slower one)

[@vanhata]

OMG! 30 minuts!!! O.O' It's amazing!!

[@WingPegasus]

YAYS!!!My first 6 epic failedddddddd:(... BUT ................ I FINALLY GOT IT!!!! ITs kinda messy looking... but looks great!!!TY for making this video!!!I really appreciate it!:D

[@NoJustShutTheFuckUp]

I think I will go back to something easier before trying this again... Because if I don't, I will probably get frustrated rapidly... Anyway, I hope someday I'll be able to make this correctly, but for now I can't. Also (just a suggestion) if you could organize your videos by difficulty level it would be really cool I think. Also thanks for your videos and your awesome work!

[@Stacca88]

i can manage to get up to the stage of folding the large flaps with the reverse folds on the inside...i am really struggling to master that part... can anyone help?

[@MrZigzira]

vc já tentou faser o vaso completo com todas as orquideas? fica muito legal

[@tadashimori]

@meiiris =)

[@mobradovic00]

[@Lulu33300]

[@Cloud082086]

[@koutsoullis]

why speed it up? i bet this video it was your first

[@eonwy]

@sukianata Yeah, well, I hope the next time I spend 3 hours on an origami it actually looks like it's supposed to (:

[@shakershawcross]

@meiiris And so are we lol....Your art is good aswell :)

[@TheLittleValentina]

@eloraado umm, justin bieber didn't invent that phrase, it was charles dickens, so, you should quote him, it seems more fair to me :)
