All Answers:
Answer #1
Yes; florists often use orchids in flower arrangements. Get vials that can be
placed on the cut end of the orchid to keep it hydrated; if you can place it
into a cool area at night, it will last longer.

Answer #2
Dendrobium sprays are quite long lasting as cut flowers and reasonably
inexpensive if you order them over the 'net from Hawaii. Treat them the way you
would any other cut flower.Others, like cymbidiums can be quite pricey, and sold
by the number of flowers per stem.If you do order dendrobiums, when they arrive,
cut a little off of each stem end and soak them in the sink for 30 minutes or
so, then do with them as you wish. They keep quite well.
