Select Phalaenopsis from 1888Orchids.com
The Goods: This sleek white phalaenopsis, 28 inches tall and set in a pretty basket, was as attractive as others in Real Simple’s road test costing twice as much. And instead of the grocery twist ties other companies use to attach the flower spike to the stake, 1888Orchids.com used less tacky little green clips.
Packaging: The message is printed on white office paper and folded in a standard letter envelope. Detailed care instructions, helpful for novices, are included.
Five Days Later: Most buds had opened. With proper care (it’s not complicated), flowering should continue for at least three weeks, and potentially up to three months.
To Buy: $50 ($40, plus $10 shipping), www.1888orchids.com.
