Orchid Modern: Living and Designing with the World’s Most Elegant Houseplants by Marc Hachadourian

★★★★★  The publisher provided a copy for review If you live near a florist or in a warm climate, chance are you've brought home an orchid. The flowers last a long time - and bring a sophisticated touch of the jungle to any corner. In my tropical home, I repurposed thick guava branches from a 40-yr-old tree as orchid stands. But if you love orchids and live in outside the tropics, you need this book.

Hachadourian offers many arrangements for the modern home - stunning combinations of natural and found objects, care and cultivation, and how and where to display your creations. The step-by-step instructions and stunning photos will delight you.

For a special occasion, you may want to take this book to your florist - I guarantee you'll get more than you bargained for in return. Highly recommended for lovers of flowers.
