This gorgeous, classic arrangement in stunning shades of pink, white, peach and yellow, and accented in variegated greens, is a feast for the eyes. The shades of pinks and subtle peach and yellow in the tulips, roses and cymbidium orchids accent and draw out each other's colors. The variety of flower shapes further adds to its beauty. The vibrant blooms are then nestled in the soft white and delicate green of the hydrangeas. The vibrant greens of the aspidistra and monstera leaves brings a cool freshness to this arrangement reminiscent of walking through a lovely garden, breathing in its beauty and fragrance. The scale of this arrangement is substantial enough to accent a dining table or buffet at a dinner party, and the 12" clear glass vase adds a bit of a contemporary feel. It would be stunning on a table or in a grand entryway, but it also boasts an intimate feel. It is certain to impress the most discerning of tastes. The flowers in this arrangement have an interesting history: Tulips are a member of the lily family (Liliaceae), and they were originally found growing in mountainous regions of Europe and Asia, although today the Netherlands produce the majority of tulips enjoyed by the world. Hydrangeas come in a wide range of colors and sizes, the name means "water vessel", and they are the traditional flower to commemorate a fourth wedding anniversary. Cymbidium orchids have been cultivated longer than any other type of orchid, and this type of orchid is called a "boat orchid" due to its shape. Roses are native to China, and most have five petals. Rose hip, the round part of the rose containing its seeds, are used as a food supplement as they contain vitamin C and other vitamins, and they are also used to make jams and jellies. Anyone would be thrilled to receive this lovely floral creation. It is especially well suited for an anniversary, birthday, Mother's Day, graduation — any occasion where you would like to honor and delight a special person in your life.
