An Orchid Arrangement for Everyday Use

One of the things that I love about orchids is they are chameleons.  An orchid can change its style according to its container or companion plants.  Put an orchid in a silver urn and it's perfect for a table at a formal dinner party.  Place the same orchid in a simple glazed pot to decorate the kitchen or bath.  An orchid will make any container stylish and I mean any container.

The container used in this arrangement is actually a trash basket.  That's right!  It's a decorative waste basket I found at a local discount store.
