Let G be a connected, reductive, algebraic group on an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Let H be a spherical subgroup of G, i.e. H is a closed subgroup of G such that every Borel subgroup of G operates on G/H with an open orbit. It is shown that for a spherical subgroup H, the homogeneous space G/H is a deformation of a homogeneous space G/H, where H contains a maximal unipotent subgroup of G (such a H is spherical). It is also shown that every Borel subgroup of G has a finite number of orbits in G/H.
