In this new series I want to go behind the scenes and discover where our flowers come from. As a floral designer if I can’t find the flowers or foliage I want for a design in my garden, then it’s just a matter of a trip to my local flower market. As I cast my eyes over buckets and buckets of flowers, I got to thinking - somewhere, someone grows all these and I wonder what’s involved.
Thus, the GREAT BOTANCIAL JOURNEY.
Its an adventure behind the scenes to I visit Ruby Orchids in Auckland, New Zealand to hear all about how to grow and care for Cymbidium Orchids.
AND the first flower under investigation is the magnificent boat orchid or cymbidium orchid. I chose this because it’s possibly on of the oldest blooms on the planet. Research reveals that they’ve been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Fancy that. They’ve long since gone, but the orchids continue to flourish!
A special note of thanks to both New Zealand Blooms and Ruby Orchids NZ for giving up your valuable time, at such a busy time of the year, to share what’s involved in growing the orchids we so love to create with. Ruby Orchids are available exclusively through New Zealand Bloom.
