Pink Orchid

Posted on June 19, 2013 by sarahmac

Beautiful orchids are a lovely accent in any décor, but they require a little upkeep. You have to provide the temperature they like, not overwater and do lots of fussing over them.

Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid looks real, $245

But not this one. This one is a beauty known as Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid, or moth orchid. And its care is very, very easy…. ‘cuz it’s not real. Fooled you, didn’t we? It looks real. Give this to the person you know who loves flowers and can’t keep a plant alive. Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid from Ann’s will last forever. Beautiful!
