Fresh Flowers -10 Deep Purple Dendrobium Orchids

If you want to see what Deep Purple Dendrobium Orchids looks like in real life you can go to the Google owned video sharing website and look up video hlVzPJmekXQ . Go to the 9:32 mark in the video and you will see me presenting the Deep Purple Dendrobium Orchids bouquet. I ordered this bouquet to be showcased on a Google Plus hangout I did about flower arrangements that could be ordered from Amazon.com for Valentine's Day.This bouquet is SHIPPED, not delivered. That means your recipient has to cut open a shipping box, cut the flowers out of the packaging.Each stem is a purple more intense than is showing in the photo on the Amazon product detail page. The stems are about 16 to 18 inches long. These arrived at my place the first week of February and, with maintenance, they are still alive and here it is the first week of March. Each stem comes in its own little watering test tube. This allows you to give the individual stems away as gifts, which is quite cool.

I placed an order on a Friday and didn't expect them to arrive until about Wednesday. They showed up at my Mother's on Monday! She was very pleased with the orchids and said they were beautiful. They should last a very long time as orchids last much longer than other cut flowers. I use to grow a variety of orchids and on the plant the blooms sometimes lasted for months if the conditions were right.

We live in Iowa. The box was delivered by the mailman outside our front door. We found the box 2-3 hours later. The orchids were frozen, very disappointing, beautiful flowers from Florida-a waste of the product!

Flowers were beautiful and lasted a very long time

I purchased these flowers for my mother. I didn't like the fact it would take over a week to arrive but I thought it was a seasonal issue. They arrived after the last receive by date by one day while the water retaining sponge was frozen solid. The flowers of course were brown, wilted and dead.

The orchids arrived a day early but were very warm inside their box. I opened the box and placed the orchids in room temperature water until they were hydrated. Unfortunately, they didn't last more than three days even with floral preservative.

It only took a few days to receive my order. I ordered two boxes and judging from some of the reviews I was a little scared. But, they not only where perfect, they lasted over 2 weeks! I ordered them for my daughters engagement party (just to test them out) and will be ordering them again for her wedding. I'm very pleased.

I love these flowers! They last at least 3 weeks for me! I change the water, add collidal silver to the water and spray the flowers, remove any dead flowers, and trim the stems. I have ordered these at least four times over the years and they are consistently beautiful and last longer than any other flowers!
