I finally did it,
I purchased an Orchid!
A "just add ice" Orchid...have you ever heard of them?
Don't you just adore the color?
So here's the scoop.
Caring for a "just add ice" Orchid is as simple as 1 - 2 - 3!
1. Water with 3 ice cubes, once per week.
2. Place in a bright, well lit location, avoiding direct sunlight.
3. 65 - 85 degrees, locate away from drafts.
I purchased this baby on October 26, 2012, for 18 buck-a-roos,
in my local Stop N Shop.
I "ice" her on Sundays and she looks quite stunning.
So far so good!!

I have a friend who is trying this. Your photos are splendid.
That is so interesting, never heard of 3 ice orchids before. It's gorgeous! I haven't jumped in buying one yet. You'll have to let me know how you do with yours.
shoulda known she'd be PURPLE! :)
have you named her? besides 'just add ice', that is...
hmmm...even I could do that! might have to give this a try!
She is a beauty. I just wonder why you would get a purple one.This said with a grin on my face.:)
It is so pretty! I want one.
They are truly beautiful my best friend has them I would be afraid to kill it. Love the colour. Hugs B
It's very pretty. I have never had luck with orchids.
Never heard of one (the ice part) but it is beautiful!
That's gorgeous, Debbie! Really nice!

My son got me one well I killed it whoops...
I just read Texwisgirl's comment made me laugh "just add ice" lol
It is a beautiful plant...love the color. Good luck with it.
Gorgeous "Purple" orchid!
Maybe I could even grow one if all I had to do was add ice.
Lucky you. Mine always die. It is a beauty.
Just simply beautiful! I learn something new everyday as I didn't know about the ice.
Beautiful
I LOVE it! So pretty. May it have a long life :-)
Yes my daughter got one as a gift! Very pretty good luck with it!
Oh Debbie welcome you very beautiful.
Wprowdziłaś much fun tropical flowers.
Your orchids are perfectly
Have a nice day
Debbie, have you given me a lot of happiness!!!!
That is a gorgeous orchid. I've never heard of using ice cubes to water them though, how interesting.
After mine bloomed, they've been rather lackluster. I'm hoping Spring brings some blooms. Love the color -- so unlike you Debbie! :)
What a beautiful orchid you have. I never heard of the icecubes before. I am told orchids need water of roomtemperature. Mine are having a bath in a bucket of rainwater once a week.
I wish you a lot of luck with your new beauty if you treat them well they reward you with flowers al trough the year.
Big hugs
Wow, that is a beautiful flower!
That is a beauty! I've never been brave enough to try keeping an orchid - I had no self confidence that I could keep it alive. :)
Wow Debbie, that is a cracker. It is such a lovely colour.
I've never heard of a flower that you feed with ice. Long may she last for you :))
Just beautiful! I wonder if I could manage to not kill one of these beautiful orchids. I think I could remember the ice cubes.
Blessings!
