Silk Orchids are a great accent piece for decorating. Orchids are an elegant and colorful flower that comes in many varieties and colors. This article is to help you sort out the choices.
The first choice to make for most design projects is color. The greaet thing about decorating with silk orchids is that they have lots of color choices. There is a traditional Orchid color, which is a deep purple color. Orchids come in many colors including Yellow, Cream, Purple, Gold, Burgandy, Sunset, Rust and White. Typically Vanda, Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium are the most popular varieties and will have the most color choices.
Next design choice to make is the shape. Do you need a tall skinny flower or a round full flower. For the most part, Orchids are tall flowers. The Cymbidium, Spider and Vanda Orchids tend to be tall and skinny with the Cybidium having the most vertical appearance. The Cattleya, Oncidium and Dendrobium tend to be fuller and rounder. If you need something to fit an unusual space, Moon Orchids and Phaleanopsis have an arching appearance so the can adapt to odd spaces more easily.
The last choice to make is how powerful the color is in the Potted Silk Orchid. Most orchids have relatively small flowers, especially Odontoglossum, Spider and Moon Orchids. Dendrobium Orchids have very large flowers as do Cattleya. Cymbidium and Phalaenopsis have a nice elegant splash of color.
Potted Silk Orchids are perfect for accenting your décor without overpowering color. They don’t need much maintenance and they are always in bloom.
