Pinkin' It Up For Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I've been adding pink, hearts, and everything romantic from my decorating bag to the house this month. 

I purchased this Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis) from Costco- for the large white flowers- not the existing decorating.  This is how it came into the house:
The first thing to go were these plastic coated sticks.  I think the look was supposed to be ice coated branches, but if Elsa was behind them, she must be loosing her touch.  I just had to... let them go.
This single glitter covered pine cone was a little too Christmassy and I didn't like it sitting up so high.  This had to go too.
I can't decide if I love or hate this container yet.   What's your vote?
 
Ok, for the fun part!!!

First, I dropped the Orchid into this PINK clay pot.  To hide the plastic liner and dress it up a little, I added some sheet moss to cover the 'mechanics'.  I'm kind of crazy about sheet moss lately and find that adding it to orchids is especially effective.

Next I wanted to remove these metal wires that were supporting the flower stem, but I was afraid of damaging the plant. 
So, I grabbed some adorable PINK ribbon and wrapped a bit around each support.    

Easy right? And I think super sweet in PINK for Valentine's Day! What are you doing to dress up your plants?  Visit my website at www.juliesharrison.com I want to hear from you! XOX Julie
