Purples in Paris

Oriental lilies and Dendrobium orchids share one compact cube, just 4.75 inches across, filled out with a little seasonal greenery. Everything leans cool and moody: soft purple lilies against deeper violet orchid stems, without any red or yellow in the mix. It's a color story with a little Parisian polish.

Purples in Paris works to mark a promotion, a small win, or the kind of Tuesday that just needs marking. Set the cube on a desk or an entry table and it holds its shape without sprawling, so it suits a shelf or a table just as well. Up close the orchids carry a light, faintly powdery scent, while the lilies do the heavier lifting once they open.

Our designers gather the lilies and orchids fresh the morning of delivery, then hand-build each one in our own studio, a habit that goes back to 1903. Order by 2:00 PM in your recipient's time zone (noon on Sundays) and most areas get same-day flower delivery; farther out, our nationwide network of local florists takes over. Purples in Paris remains one of our favorite compact arrangements to send.
