Did You Know That Orchids Can Last Much Longer Than Many Traditional Cut Flowers?

Written by Petal Perfection Flower Company

Orchids have a reputation for being exotic and delicate.


But when it comes to certain cut orchid varieties, they can actually be remarkably durable.

Did you know that orchids can provide exceptional longevity in floral arrangements when properly handled?

Their unusual structure and waxy-looking petals allow many orchid varieties to tolerate the conditions of a floral arrangement better than you might expect.

Orchids are frequently used in:

Luxury floral arrangements
Corporate flowers
Weddings
High-end events
Sympathy designs
Tropical arrangements
Modern floral designs

Their architectural appearance also makes them particularly useful when a florist wants a sophisticated, contemporary look.

Why Orchids Stand Out


Orchids don't necessarily need to dominate an arrangement.

Sometimes one or two strategically placed orchid stems can completely change the personality of a design.

That's part of professional floral design: knowing when a flower needs to be the star and when it simply needs to make an entrance.

At Petal Perfection Flower Company, we're constantly balancing color, shape, texture, scale and flower longevity when creating arrangements.
