At least 10 years ago I purchased a "just add ice" orchid at the food store.
It has been alive and vibrant until now
and it finally decided it was tired of those cold waterings every Sunday...
it stopped blooming and I laid it to rest.
I was so sad to see it go as it was such a beautiful shade of purple and I loved it so much.
We don't shop in the food store now to replace it
but recently had to make an emergency run for the hubs mom and there they were.
- just add ice -
orchids
I was so excited, I almost wet my pants...
Purchased March 24, 2021,
I will keep this little card so I always remember when I purchased it,
and how long I have had it.
And you may have noticed I had to change the 2 to a 3,
stuck back in February I forgot it was March.
I'm not sure if I am planting everything in a raised bed or in pots,
and plenty of sunshine to enjoy your day!

Beautiful Orchid. I have been looking for that kind, that uses only the ice cubes, but can’t find any. Oh well, I’ll enjoy your via the blog.
I've been using ice cubes for years...ever since I got mine in fact. I do the same thing for the Anthurium and they seem fine, Debbie! Your choice was a beautiful one!!!...jp
My mom loved Orchids, but I don't think she ever had one of those. I usually have basil, oregano and rosemary that I grow. Rosemary made it through the winter, I brought the basil in and it is doing good. Oregano did not make it though. So glad spring is here. Grass just cut a few minutes ago so now I know that it will be never ending till Oct.YIKES.. I blog about everything! lol...I will find interesting things on Pinterest that I blog about if I don't have anything else. Have a great week.
What a neat idea for growing an orchid!
Yay for the orchid find. B started some seeds, too.
I ice my orchid too. You have the spirit of spring for sure!
I have never heard of an ice cube orchard. Very cool.
Oh the timing was great on those, so neat that you found them again, I don't believe I have ever seen them. Wow you have a good selection of seeds, I am not sure how much I will be doing this year, all depends on how long it takes for my foot to heal.
Hello,
Just adding ice, I could do that! Your new orchid is beautiful, I love the pink color. Take care, enjoy your day!
Yes, it's that super fun growing and planning time of the year! Beautiful orchid you've shared too.
Dear Debbie!
How nice to be with you again after my long absence.
Yesterday I came back from the hospital.
Beautiful photos and a beautiful orchid. I am delighted with its color.
Hugs and greetings.
I think your new orchid looks a beauty, what a fabulous colour it is.
All the best Jan
Wishing you lots of sunshine too. We are finally suppose to have some warm weather this weekend. I'm hoping for it. Your Orchid's are beautiful. I haven't heard of that kind before. It does look like you are ready to plant. I'm worried because we are in drought conditions, so water might be a problem. We may not have as big of a garden this year.
You continue to be an inspiration in this area.
Blessings and hugs!
