Orchids.  There are several types that are available.  This flower gets a bad name because people think they are VERY expensive.  This is a false thought.  Because transportation and growing costs have become more efficient the cost is very doable.

Not only is the price reasonable, orchid last a very long time.  Orchids have waxy coats to keep the water in the petals; this adaptation is due to living in a very humid climate.

Cymbidiums, dendrobiums, oncidiums and mokaras are the four most widely used types in the floral world.   All these come in a variety of colors.  So there is something for every bride or event.
