Orchid
Diverse family; moth orchids are the most common gift plants.
Colours: white, pink, purple, yellow
Season: year-round
Meaning: Refinement and strength
Corporate Flowers: Neutral, Lasting, Uncontroversial
Corporate flowers should be neat, lightly scented and culturally safe. Orchids, white-and-green arrangements and quality mixed neutrals beat romantic red roses.
- Colours
- White, green, soft purple. Avoid romantic red unless the brief is celebratory and personal.
- Bouquet styles
- Potted orchids, compact vase arrangements.
- Symbolism
- Respect and congratulations — not courtship.
- What to avoid
- Heavy fragrance in open-plan offices and funeral-coded white mums in the wrong country.
