February 11, 2011

Stunningly beautiful Just Add Ice Orchids are the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for anyone close to your heart; but sometimes you want to give a little more. If you want to dazzle your valentine, consider pairing a Just Add Ice Orchid with one of these special gifts:

  • Books and Magazines. Serious orchid growers will adore a subscription to Orchid Digest Magazine with its lush photographs and expert growing tips. The book Moth Orchids: The Complete Guide to Phalaenopsis Orchids by Steven A. Frowine is a wonderful gift for Just Add Ice Phalaenopsis Orchid fans. An excellent book for first-time Just Add Ice Orchid owners is Liz Johnson’s Easy Orchids: The Fail-Safe Guide to Growing Orchids Indoors.
  • Stationary. A pretty set of note cards bearing beautiful photos of orchid blooms or a stationary set decorated with elegant pen and ink drawings of orchid plants is a delightful gift sure to please any orchid grower. Look for orchid-themed stationary at your local garden center or botanical garden or shop online. You’ll find lovely orchid stationary on the American Orchid Society website and charming vintage orchid note cards at the New York Botanical Garden’s online gift shop.
  • Soap. Celebrate Orchids sells heavenly orchid-scented soaps shaped like orchid petals. Soap petals come in a wide range of colors and are sold in bags of 30 and 50.
  • Prints and Photos. A beautifully composed photograph of an orchid in bloom or beginning to unfurl is a wonderful gift for an orchid lover. If you’re a decent amateur photographer, take a close-up photograph of your sweetheart’s favorite orchid plant and present it in an attractive frame on Valentine’s Day. It you’re all thumbs when it comes to art, you can find extraordinary photographs and watercolors of orchids at botanical gardens and art galleries. The New York Botanical Garden offers a dazzling collection of orchid photos for sale online.
