Orchid in a Clam Shell

I dropped my concrete clam shell off to Dunn & Sonnier on Magazine Street to have an orchid placed in it.

 I picked it up this afternoon and love it. The floral designer not only added the white orchid but also added willow and English ivy. I adore the way in which the green ivy spills over the shell to soften it.




The shell was placed on the sofa table in the den. I love how the orchid brings the outdoors in. It captures the lushness of the courtyard beyond the den.


I thought this was funny.....
What color do you see now?



Orchids, y'all!

    Good morning, Ron! I'm with Babs--I thought you had dropped the clam shell when I first began to read this blog! ;) The orchid arrangement is perfect for the clam shell, and it looks great on the sofa table in the den--definitely brings the lushness of the courtyard into the den. Love the dress, too! Have a great day! xoxo

    Your orchid clam shell combination is beautiful! You are right - it brings the outdoors in.

    By the way, I see a rainbow and I'm happy about it! Now my son can marry the person he wants to marry when the time comes. :)
