A Punch Bowl of Orchids

An important part of my getting ready for winter is bringing the garden indoors with dried flowers, forced bulbs, interesting branches and of course orchids.  Orchids are ideal because they will flower for months with very little care. 

Whether you are decorating for a party or just sprucing up your home, this orchid arrangement is an easy way to bring the garden indoors.

A Punch Bowl of Orchids

Dear Mr. P. Allen Smith, This is a fabulous Idea:) Sometimes people give me punch bowls sets for Christmas, and i never know what to do with them, because they take up so much space in my China Closet. But after reviewing this slide show, I now have an idea the next time i have a party. Thank you Mr. P. Allen Smith for these wonderful ideas. God Bless you, One of your many fans, Barbara Ann
