Giving Phalaenopsis Orchid Plants as Sympathy Gifts

September 22, 2020

Sending plants as sympathy gifts is a great way to show you care. Phalaenopsis orchids are a distinctive choice for a sympathy gift, and even for a funeral service. Their inclusion in a service won’t set off anyone’s allergies, and they add a touch of elegance. Orchids will bloom in memoriam long after the passing of a loved one, serving as a sweet reminder of a loved one for years to come.
