Moss or Fearne? Neither: try Orchids!
Want to feel like Kate Moss or Fearne Cotton? It's easy to feel like a celebrity, get yourself some flowers! Follow these simple instructions from the Flowers & Plants Association for fast ways to feel good.
Decide which flower will make you feel like a star.
Orchids are the most glamorous flowers to have in celebrity circles for 2008 – Kate Moss was famously given ten by current beau, Jamie Hince, for her 34th birthday, after she fell in love with them while holidaying in Thailand.
Do one better.
There's lots of different orchids to choose from – Kate loves dendrobium orchids which come in purple, green or white; but you can also get racy vanda orchids in rich purple, red and orange; cymbidium orchids in every colour from earthy tones to bright pinks; or phalaenopsis orchids, which are delicate and simple. All are very popular – but to feel like a true celebrity, hunt out the more rarely seen types, like oncidium, with lots of small butterfly-like flowers, cattleya, to make you feel like a Hollywood prom queen, or paphiopedilum, also known as slipper orchid, to make you feel like Cinderella.
Plant or flower?
Most of these orchids can be bought as a plant to keep you reminded of how gorgeous you are a little longer, so check out these plant facts to keep it looking as glamorous as you. For extra chic and glamour, choose orchids as a cut flower for the height of luxury!
Drop hints.
Princesses don't buy their own presents. Save this webpage to your boyfriend's favourites list, drop in conversations how much you love orchids, leave the number of your local florist hanging around… if all else fails, why not treat yourself – after all, celebrities go shopping for exactly what they want all the time – and place the flowers next to your bed, so it's only you who gets to enjoy them!
