They are a graceful flower with a meaning of innocence of sophistication.

Because there are such a wide variety of orchids to choose from, our floral team here at the Garden of Eden Flower Shop believes you'll be able to get your message across to the person you're sending them to. Whether you're sending them as an anniversary congratulations, a graduation promotion or anything in between, there is no other gift more unexpected that a beautifully made up bouquet of orchids.
