Three Days till the Wedding - Orchid Overkill!

It is 1:11 am Tuesday night, August 15 and I'm tired. This evening the orchids arrived. I had no idea 60 orchids were soooo many! I had no idea magenta was so bright! We have the orchids crowded in four vases but they could easily be spread out amongst 10 vases.

Alas, I think we have Orchid Overkill. The orchids are bright magenta colored. If I spread them out over the house, our guests will be overwhelmed with so much magenta. So I'll have to think of a way to tone down the intensity.

I'm seriously considering sticking some of the orchids in the dirt in the geranium planters on the deck. "Why yes," I'll say to the guests "aren't those orchids lovely? They are really pretty to use in floral arrangements. Just look at how many there are! Why, there are so many, I would be delighted to send a few home with you."
