The larger of the two, cymbidiums are white, yellow, green or lavender with pink or red lips, while dendrobiums are often white or lavender.
Ordering Advice:
If possible, have the telephone number of the recipient. In a worst case scenario, it might be necessary to contact the recipient to get further directions. While it may "spoil" the surprise of getting the flowers, it is usually better than not getting the order delivered at all.
Floral designers are very creative individuals. Rather than specifying the precise location of every flower in the arrangement, tell them the overall "look" you want (e.g., round arrangement, loose flowers in a vase, etc.) and let them use their creativity to do something spectacular for you!
