Some of the flowers known as Singapore Orchids belong
to the Dendrobium family. The Oncidium family is also popular for cut flowers
and the yellow 'Golden Shower' variety is widely known and used. It is possible
to buy these flower all year round, and are exported from Singapore in a phial
of water. Dial A Hamper gets deliveries of Singapore Orchids a couple of times a week and we
have access to them over and above this order fromflower wholesalers based in
Perth.
Like all flowers, cut at least 2-4 centimeters of at an angle and place them in water, like many flowers the stems should never be allowed to dry out hence why they are transported in water. If an Orchid becomes limp, you can submerge the whole flower in water for 30-60 minutes and this will plump the flower and stem back up.
