A cool draft is moving air that is cooler than the ambient temperature, such as air from an open window on a cool day.Ĭymbidium and Anthurium will last 4 to 6 weeks as stems and can be used for cut arrangements as well as for corsages, boutonnieres and bouquets. Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, Paphiopedilum, Mokara and Aranthera can also be used in a variety of ways and will last 1 to 2 weeks on the stem.
