Orchid Revival

My wife loves orchids but can only keep them alive for about 2 weeks. This is just a hint for her from the family's gardener! It features a "no fail" pie shaped segmented base and top with 45-degree grain direction - a Jerry Bennett concept. The flowers are dyed stabilized Doug fir, and the green filler is ABS plastic - a new process I was trying out. It's finished inside and out with epoxy and intended to be used! The spout is copper tube airbrushed with brown paint. Granadillo and maple are the main woods used. The body is about 4" tall, about 11" overall length. All C&C welcome!
