Special Birthday's

The month of May contained various floral projects including a few one-of-a-kind birthday arrangements.

For an orchid lover....white dendrobium orchids, lush roses and red hypericum berries

Spring blooms for someone who was celebrating a milestone birthday. Tulips, fragrant hyacinths and delicate lisianthus, with a bed of pom chrysanthemums

Large basket of blooms for someone whose favourite flowers are daisies and sunflowers. Mini sunflowers, gerbera daisies, carnations, green spider/Fuji mums and forsythia branches

 

Dendrobium Orchids

I enjoy working with all types of tropical flowers, and one that I find to be very versatile is the Dendrobium Orchid.  These orchid sprays are available in a variety of solid colours and some in two tone (white, light green, purple, blue, etc.). The long stem filled with flower and buds is usually a standout in any arrangement.  I used the combination of the Siam Blue variety (actual color is purple) Dendrobium with green Fuji (spider) mum and white lily to create these three arrangements.

The orchid is the focus of this upright arrangement.
