Are You an Orophile?

The Call of the Wild, Answered Indoors!

In Denver, we live for the mountains! That deep-seated love for the peaks we can all name in the distance—the fresh air, the scale, and the quiet endurance—is so universal, there’s actually a word that captures it: Orophile, meaning one who loves mountains. This precise, whimsical term perfectly captures the spirit that inspires me and my work here at Aspen Wildflower Co.

We believe that the very reasons we Coloradans choose to live and work in the Rockies—a desire for clarity, resilience, and natural beauty—shouldn't disappear the moment you step into your office. Why settle for a sterile, concrete-and-glass reality when your workspace could be an inspiring den of greenery and peacefulness?

Plants are scientifically proven to be a powerful tool for wellness. Bringing this natural health and peace to your place of employment is a direct investment in your employees' mental health, productivity, and overall well-being. These amazing and tangible improvements are the absolute core inspiration and philosophy of our aesthetic and services.

The Mountain Modern Mood: Blending the Rugged and Refined

The trend known as Mountain Modern or Rustic Contemporary is more than just decor; it's a design mandate that prioritizes well-being. It seeks to blend the rugged, enduring textures of the natural world (stone, wood, iron) with the clean lines and efficiency of contemporary architecture.

Your living decor should be the centerpiece of this philosophy. This is how we bring the Mountain Modern aesthetic to your space:

• Enduring Form: Prioritize plants that are structurally significant—like the towering silhouette of a Fiddle Leaf Fig or the resilient, geometric form of a Sansevieria. These plants speak of the mountains' quiet strength and add drama to any space.

• Natural Textures: Swap sterile plastic pots for crafted pots from heavily textured ceramic, polished stone, or reclaimed wood. These textures are very similar to the installation in nature, echoing the plentiful boulders and various timbers of the Rockies that we all admire so much.

• The Palette of the Peaks: Seasonal florals and decor embrace the rich, muted hues of the mountain landscape—deep mossy greens, charcoal grays, rich bronzes, and creamy lichen whites—rather than bright, distracting primary colors that clash with this theme.

More Than Aesthetics: The Scientific Benefit of Altitude

Why should anyone invest in this feeling? Because that sense of "mountain calm" translates directly into the proven bottom line:

• Stress Reduction: The natural patterns and shapes found in our plantscapes are scientifically proven to reduce psychological stress and lower blood pressure. When you are around these recognizable, local plants, you are better able to focus on yourself, your mental health, and your overall wellbeing. Being around these plantscapes actually improves your health without you even knowing it!

• Productivity Boost: Introducing complex, living elements into the environment has been shown to reduce mental fatigue and increase concentration by up to 15%. This is the living equivalent of a strong cup of coffee. What if you could replace your morning cup of joe for a beautiful plantscape? Would you do it?
