Orchids are gorgeous flowers for both outside the home and in; when it comes to the latter, we are taking cues from Martha Stewart, who recently shared a glimpse at her potted orchids on her Instagram page.
'I had some friends over for dinner last night. I filled the house, most every flat surface, with amazing orchids from my greenhouse,' Martha states in the caption. 'They are all blooming quite profusely, and they really added a beautiful ambiance to the house.'
They are certainly gorgeous table decor in their ceramic planters, proving that a simple plant can be the perfect accessory – and orchids are a long-lasting, timeless flower choice to add to your home decor. Orchid care can be intricate, but when the results are as unique as Martha's, it's worth all the time and dedication.
