Orchids are gorgeous flowers for both outside the home and in; when it comes to the latter, we are taking cues from Martha Stewart, who recently shared a glimpse at her potted orchids on her Instagram page.

'I had some friends over for dinner last night. I filled the house, most every flat surface, with amazing orchids from my greenhouse,' Martha states in the caption. 'They are all blooming quite profusely, and they really added a beautiful ambiance to the house.'

They are certainly gorgeous table decor in their ceramic planters, proving that a simple plant can be the perfect accessory – and orchids are a long-lasting flower choice. Orchid care can be intricate, but when the results are as unique as Martha's, it's worth all the time and dedication.

According to flower experts, if you're looking to incorporate flowers into your home with longevity, then orchids are a top choice.

'Orchids, chrysanthemums, and carnations are among the most resilient flowers and can stay fresh for weeks,' LeAnne Samuelson, a flower specialist from Prestige Botanicals, explains. 'On the other hand, delicate blooms like tulips and peonies are more likely to wilt after just a few days.'

This variety pack from Amazon offers five different options, so you can color your home in purples, yellows, and whites, like Martha. Pot them in this white, ceramic urn planter from Wayfair for a highly striking look, which would anchor a patio or a living area.

Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or just looking to add a touch of natural elegance to your space, orchids offer a timeless way to elevate any room. With their long-lasting blooms, versatile colors, and effortless sophistication, these flowers prove that sometimes the simplest additions can make the biggest impact.
