There are so many different varieties of orchids, each variety unique and beautiful in their own right. I have enjoyed having these lovely plants in and around my house for years. In recent years, I have made several trips to orchid growers and exhibits. After one memorable trip to a wonderful orchid grower in south Florida, I came home with a new found inspiration to throw orchid bowls in my studio. After countless attempts, I am now very pleased with the results.
Recently, I was asked to make a phalaenopsis arrangement for a friend. The catch was, she wanted a plant that would remain in bloom and wouldn’t require a lot of maintenance. I quickly realized, it couldn’t be a real orchid. After doing a little research, I found some beautiful options. I had so much fun designing it, I thought it would be fun to share the process here. Whether you are looking to make a real or artificial arrangement, these bowls definitely accentuate the simple beauty of an orchid. They will certainly be a highlight in my next pottery sale.
