I sell these every week.... and still Said it wrong

If you've already watched my celebratory arrangement tutorial, you may have caught a tiny little mistake...

Or maybe not.

Either way, I'm here to confess that while I was confidently talking about the flowers I used, I accidentally called my **cymbidium orchids** "chrysanthemums."

Now, to be fair, flower names can be a mouthful, especially when you're focused on designing an arrangement and making sure every stem is perfectly placed. Unfortunately, flowers don't give bonus points for confidence. 😂

So let's clear things up:

🤍 **Cymbidium Orchids** are known for symbolizing luxury, refinement, beauty, and respect. They're one of my favorite flowers for adding an elegant, high-end touch to an arrangement.

🌼 **Chrysanthemums (Mums)** symbolize joy, longevity, friendship, optimism, and well wishes. They're beautiful flowers too—but they were not the flower making an appearance in that part of the tutorial.

The good news?

The arrangement still turned out beautiful.

The flowers were still fresh.

Nobody got hurt.

And thankfully, the Flower Police have not shown up at the shop... yet. 🚔🌸

One thing I love about floral design is that there's always something new to learn. Whether you've been arranging flowers for five days or five years, mistakes happen. Sometimes a stem goes in the wrong spot. Sometimes you spill water on the workbench. And sometimes you accidentally introduce a cymbidium orchid to the world as a chrysanthemum.

That's all part of the fun.

Thank you to everyone who watches, supports, and learns alongside me. I promise to keep sharing tutorials, flower tips, behind-the-scenes moments, and the occasional floral blooper.

And if you ever catch me accidentally renaming another flower, feel free to lovingly call me out in the comments. 🌸😂

After all, even florists have their bouquet bloopers.
