Next time you’re looking to buy flowers for a friend or relative, consider orchids. Orchids are elegant, exotic plants that bloom in a variety of colours! They make great gifts because they brighten up any room, especially that of an office.

Did you know that once in bloom, orchids last a full month before they start to wither away? Also, did you know how simple and easy orchids are to care for?
Just a few sprits of water each day is all that is needed to maintain them.

You can find beautiful orchids with lots to choose from at your local plant nursery, or just about any plant shop you come across. The prices vary from about $15 for more common species to in excess of $100 for the most exotic ones.

I heard they were easy to take care of but mine died :-( I got an orchid last year and it lasted about 4 months and then the flowers fell off. I trimmed like I was instructed to do and it never grew again and I checked the roots and it was pretty much dead. I was really sad because I think orchids or very pretty.

Ever try getting them again from another store? Maybe they were old to begin with? I'm no flower-expert, but it sounds like you did YOUR job!
