{orchids}
Orchids are pricey if you plan to buy lots of them, but I love the uncluttered simplicity of a single stem ($4 at the farmer's market) in a brown bottle. Plus they hold up well. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is still kicking around next week.

gorgeous!! i love them in the brown bottle. my orchid is starting to bloom again which makes me so happy since i thought it was surely dead!
ReplyDeleteOh Orchids are so beautiful. I love them in jam jars.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is looking wonderful by the way!

so pretty, I wish orchids didnt give me such a bad allergy :S
ReplyDeleteI love Orchids, how beautiful! :).
ReplyDeletethe creamy white paired with the brown glass is so nice, rachel - one of my favorite friday flowers posts to date! big love for your chair, as well - midcentury, yes?
ReplyDeleteWow...$4 for an orchid!
ReplyDeleteUp here in Canada, you would pay at least $30 for a stem like that...no kidding.
Enjoy...it's beautiful.
i got some awesome planted orchids at the grocery store of all places. they are beautimus & have been goign strong for months!
ReplyDeleteOrchids are my all time favorite! I would love to fill the corners of my house with them. I currently have two planted Orchids and they brighten up the house.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of the elegant flower in the simple almost rustic bottle. Very pretty.
ReplyDelete@ lauren - yep, midcentury via craigslist. part of our beloved dining set.
ReplyDelete@ sheena - gasp! $30 would have swayed me against the purchase. there's only one stall in our farmer's market that has cut orchids and the prices are always like this. i think the owner might cultivate them himself, at home.
Beautiful orchids.
ReplyDeleteThey're such beautiful flowers. The last time I had a stem of orchids, they lasted over a month! Hope yours do too!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
beeeeyoutiful.
ReplyDeleterache, just fyi, there is an enormous secret ORCHID COMPOUND out here in the desert. the temp is right; they just have to mist and hydrate the heck out of the place. you miiiight have to check it out. free tours all the time. it's pretty amazing:

Oh wow, I'm used to buying potted orchids for $10-30. Lasts longer :)
ReplyDeleteFOUR BUCKS? Holy canolli. Which farmer's market do you go to? I've never in my life seen a cymbidum like that for $4. Insane! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like orchids, but this is gorg. Something about the bottle makes it work.
ReplyDelete@ bigBANG - i've passed the orchid compound! i somehow didn't realize you could actually GO INSIDE! Exciting.
ReplyDelete@ Bella - i kill potted orchids. very, very quickly. so i've started just buying them cut. at least then it's not fault when they finally die.
@ {lauryl} - brentwood farmers market! the guy who sells them is in the middle of the market, on the east side. he's a very sweet older asian gentleman and he always has a great selection of flowers, often including some orchids.
Oh my! So gorgeous. I love the simplicity of the bottle and just adore orchids. Very classy.
ReplyDeleteDivine! I always eye these up at the florist. And they last a long time too. Hope your weekend is beautiful!
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely. i just finished up a bottle of vanilla extract from a similar brown bottle and have it all rinsed out waiting for a few stems.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your sweet note last week, you say just the right things. xo.
beautiful! + adore the moody lighting in the second shot
