I was at the market picking up flowers for my Valentine’s wedding this weekend when I came across a flower that took my breath away and I gave into a temptation that I usually do a pretty good job of resisting and I bought it.
You would think that as often as I see flowers in every colour, shape and variety that there isn’t much that would really catch my attention, but when I saw this absolutely stunning stem of orange cymbidium orchids, I knew that I didn’t have a chance.
It was the colour that caught got me first. A rare of shade of an orange accented with a light cocoa colour that is only available for a few months during the winter and it had more blooms than I could count, I just had to have it.
Right now I have it placed on my hallway table and everytime I walk by it I can’t help but stop for a moment to enjoy.
It’s truly capitivating and has a light exotic sweet scent that only a flower of this nature could have.
Just wanted to share.
