Orchids I Love

There's a few things that make me more excited than when my orchids start to blossom again! I got two of them, and sometimes I think the man of the house thinks they get more love than him (its not true of course....;) ).

I bring the two of them into the shower, of course together... all siblings like to bathe together when they're young... where they are given a real, nice, lush shower, duplicating the exotic rainforrest rain. And now, it looks like they give me some blossoming in return!! 

 The oldest one, has started to grow a new branch. These pictures was shot with maybe a month apart, and you can clearly see it has grown alot!! (the smallest of the leaves that is)

The youngest one, the one MrS gave me for my birthday this year, which blossomed from March throughout May, has now also grown a new sprout AND has begin to blossom again! Im excited to see where this is gonna end! 


Fortunately for me, the national flower of MrS' home country is the black orchid. For our wedding I wanted to mix our nations in the decorations, so the black orchid got to carry the pride of our (homemade by the bride and her mother) wedding cake. 

I was searching high and low on the internet for an affordable confectioner. I came a cross Elins Designkaker. She made me the most beautiful sugar paste orchids!!

Though the cake looked very homemade, the orchids makes it look somewhat better, and for the record - my mocha fromage chocolate cake with white chocolate icing was deeeeelicious!!! 


Elin is making sugar paste decorations and cakes, and she arrange courses of how to make sugar paste flowers. Visit her BLOG or her HOMEPAGE for more info. I give her all my best recommendations!


Hope the summer is treating you all good!!
