Grower Profile: Rudvalis Orchids

摘要

Exotic yet resilient, elegant yet affordable, cymbidium orchids have become an indispensable staple for professional florists. Designers have discovered that standard cymbidium blooms, in spite of their short stems, can be added individually to all kinds of arrangements. They last well in water tubes, including anchor tubes with hooks in the bottom, which make it easy to insert the orchid blooms into foam, along with flowers that have longer stems. "The cymbidium blossoms are waxy, so they don't drink up the water as quickly as a rose or a carnation would do," explains Teleflora Education Specialist David Powers AIFD.
