Orchids The bewitching & showy flowers @ The Botanic Gardens

Orchids have always been a symbol of

beauty, love and luxury.

Did you know the Chinese called it

"the plant of the King's fragrance."... during the Middle Ages,

Orchid was believed to be used in love potions.

Orchids are also known as "showy flowers"

I have some pictures of these bewitching beauties (orchids) that will show their claims.

They will make any garden look ravishing.

the Orchid Bee and the Orchid, is remarkable.

Save those stems

This is a good method to keep those long stems tidy and decorative in a clear vase.

It can be stretched back should there be a need to change to a taller vase.

So don't cut!!!

Close up view of how it is done.

A majestic arrangement

This majestic arrangement was taken at an Ikebana gathering.

Notice the unusual props and gigantic foliage that were used.

Vases are not the only means for flower arrangement.

Try this splendid method and stand out.

Colour magic

No time for gardening!!!

Putting artificial flowers on my greens have made them a welcoming sight.

This is especially useful for non flowering plants or areas like some patios,
where you do not get enough sun for the flowers.

Instead of keeping it all green,
add subtle coloured flowers to your greens and see the transformation.

Can you guess which is real or false?

( Only the bright yellow flowers in the second picture are real.)

Fresh Feel

I love the feel of cool dew on my fresh flowers in the garden, on cold days in the early mornings.

It gives me a refreshing and elixir feel of the atmosphere.
To create an everlasting feel of this...
I hang clear shinning crystal balls on my flower arrangements and viola!
I felt that same effect again.
Simply use clear shinning crystal balls from your Christmas decorations. Hang them on your fresh or artificial flowers.
Hence, enhancing the display with that 'glittery dew'.
