Wow, you're so right, amazing colors there. Flower spikes off about 9 big Vandas in that bouquet. I wonder how long they last as cut flowers? The red ones are little roses, though. Must admit I like to be able to see the individual flowers, and this trend for bouquets to have just the flowers crammed together like that is not as appealing to me, especially for lovely flowers like roses.

The green one looks like a Dendrobium. Very pretty. Jim "Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it." -- Steven Leacock |

They were absolutely eye-catching! This was taken at the Encore in Vegas - the hotel was decorated with all types of orchids throughout the casino/hotel. This was my first time in Vegas (my DH had a business meeting and wives were invited) and was thrilled to see so many gorgeous flower displays. I took lots of photos! The conservatory at the Ballagio was decked out with a huge autumn display of pumpkins and fall colors. Elaine, I was wondering the same thing - how long they last before they need to be replaced.

You know, a couple of months ago one of my blue Vandas was opening a big spike and unfortunately I didn't realize it got so heavy, that it snapped. At this point all buds were open. I simply plopped the whole spike into a vase and was actually able to enjoy the blooms for several weeks. The Cymbidiums should last some time too. |

Ah ha, those green ones are Cymbidiums, aren't they! Funny how different they look when they aren't 'in context' with their familiar foliage. Elaine "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." –Winston Churchill |
