I waited some time for my potted orchid. Let me tell you, the wait is truly worth it. I love the elegant, understated grey color and the decor possibilities are endless! Best of all, I don't have to water or worry about its lighting conditions. It is effortless beauty at its best. Also I appreciated the gift. Stray Dog Designs gave me a gorgeous clam shell. This is why we support small businesses, so what are you waiting for? Go ahead and buy what you love. Remember folks, don't settle for anything less.
