Vice President Q Pennings says the company has worked to match holiday assortments more closely to consumer demand, while also using sales data to evaluate what colors are actually moving. “We were one of the first companies to focus on specific colors for specific holidays, and now we’re comparing that to the consumer data we collect so we can better understand whether the colors we offer at certain times of the year are actually what consumers want,” he says.
Check out the slideshow above for a closer look at some of their concepts.
Bellini and Belina
Bellini and Belina capture all the traditional aspects of a Phalaenopsis in a compact size. An abundance of colorful flowers, small footprint, and high demand make the a perfect retail item. Bellini and Belita’s popularity as high value but affordable orchid make them a necessary addition to any orchid display.
Bonita
The company’s most popular size, Bonita is a beautiful staple for any floral display. Using the best of both Dutch and Asian varieties, Color Orchids grows high-quality plants with large flowers in a wide range of vibrant colors. The Bonita adds a sense of elegance to any indoor space and is a must have.
Grande
Carefully selected from Asian varieties, the Grande lives up to its name with a waterfall of large flowers. The team hand crafts a special effect to Grande by training the stem into an elegant shape months before the orchid is ready to ship. The Grande stands boldly apart from other Phalaenopsis concepts as an elegant and luxurious option.
Cascada
Using special varieties with longer, flexible stems, Color Orchids carefully arches all the orchids in its Cascada line to achieve a cascade of flowers. The Cascada is an affordable alternative to the Grande collection and arrives in an assortment of different colors and flower sizes.
Gardens
Color Orchids specializes in the design and creation of centerpiece-worthy gardens by combining orchids from different collections. The Gardens are ideal for holidays and special occasions, from Mother’s Day to Lunar New Year.
