Over the centuries orchids have been a symbol of love, luxury and beauty. In the Middles Ages they were used as a remedy for a number of illnesses. They have also been considered an aphrodisiac and a main ingredient in certain love potions. It is important to understand, however, that not all orchids are suited to being cut flowers. In addition, how long your orchids will last depends on the variety, and the use and care the blooms receive. All varieties of cut orchids offered by Beautiful Orchids have been specifically bred to be cut flowers. They are long lasting, open quickly, do not fade, and do not bruise or spot easily. Some orchids are thick and heavy, almost waxy in texture; orchids of this heavier substance will generally last longer than more delicate blooms. This is especially true if you will be using single blooms in corsages, bouquets or boutonnieres.
Today we are going to focus on the Cymbidium orchids. These absolutely beautiful orchids were first mentioned in China during the Chin dynasty, way back in 265 AD. They are beautiful, delicate orchid plants which have been used for corsages or cut flowers because of their large flowers. One spike may have up to 30 flowers, each one measuring between four and six inches. These flowers can look good for more than two months after being cut. They come in a wide range of colors, including reds, yellows, whites, greens and browns.
Our Cymbidiums come from Holland, Thailand and South America in different grades, according to your needs.
