What a Pistil

Fleurish Orchidée Flower Shop Opens

If you give a hostess a bottle of wine, you drink for a day. If you give a hostess a Cymbidium orchid surrounded by chartreuse moss in an artisan pot, you have an invite for life.

Ensure your social calendar with an extraordinary token of appreciation. Fleurish owner Nisha Kelen opens a new flower store tomorrow devoted entirely to the orchid — proving the sophisticated stems aren’t as finicky as their reputation suggests.

Shop Fleurish Orchidée’s affordable flowers, floating blossoms, minimalist bouquets (a course on which takes place at Fleurish’s floral studio), and elaborate potted arrangements with different types of the varied species.

Choose from Cymbidiums, Vandas, Paphiopedilums, and more soon to be presented in locally crafted vessels.

It’s a gift that should prove a perennial favorite.
