We are excited about the upcoming year and look forward to sharing that excitement with you. 
Our new greenhouse is complete and full of orchids; one, two and three stem in a variety of colors, just beautiful. We also have a selection of house plants and succulents. Our new greenhouse not only will be used to expand our plant selection but also will be used as a place for workshops, lectures and of course, extended entertaining space. The Purple Orchid gift shop has been recreated with new gift selections in all price ranges. Holly and I will be attending the Atlanta Gift Mart next week, if you have any suggestions as to something you would like to see available here at The Purple Orchid please let us know!
