Instructions
1. Cut the stem of a large orchid like Cymbidium orchid off about three inches below the bloom.
2. Wrap the stem with floral tape. This will ensure that any liquids that may leak out of the flower won't get into your hair.
3. Insert the bloom into your hair, behind one ear. Attach the stem tightly with hair pins.
4. Mist the bloom lightly to ensure it stays fresh.
