ORCHID Cutters

Once assembled it's ideal as a single focal orchid or it can be mixed with other flowers.

Orchids have fascinated people since the beginning of time. For centuries they have served as symbols of love, beauty and luxury. They have been regarded as aphrodisiacs and were even one of the main ingredients in love potions. When people dream of orchids, they are said to represent a deep inner need to keep romance alive in ones relationship. Greeks believed they were a symbol of virility. Orchids were called "The plant of the King's Fragrance" by the Chinese, as long ago as the time of Confucius.
