Chef Uses Just Add Ice Orchids to Create Easy-Care Glamour in Home

August 12, 2011

Jonathan Bennett, executive chef of Cleveland’s trendy Moxie and Red the Steakhouse restaurant, calls Just Add Ice Orchids one of his “favorite things.” An avid home remodeler, the popular chef recently took Cleveland Magazine on a tour of his nearly-finished current project. Vases of Just Add Ice Orchids were on prominent display in the chef’s classy kitchen.

When he’s not whipping up culinary masterpieces, Chef Bennett and wife Christine are turning a typical 1950s-era ranch home into a light and airy modern showcase that will provide plenty of comfortable growing space for the couple’s two sons, family dog and Bennett’s elderly grandmother. Bennett is decorating his new home with an eclectic mix of favorite antiques and classic modern furniture, using the classic form and bold colors of Just Add Ice Orchids to link old and new. Decorators use the same tricks when they want to add a sophisticated splash of color to an elegant room.

Bennett says he prefers Just Add Ice Orchids to fresh-cut flowers because of their long, 2-month blooming period and extremely easy care. Just pop 3 ice cubes in the pot once a week and you’re done! The busy chef isn’t the only one who has discovered the beauty, financial and time-saving benefits of decorating with Just Add Ice Orchids. Elegant restaurants and hotels across the country are replacing fresh and silk floral displays with living Just Add Ice Orchids to brighten reception areas and grace dining tables. Their gracefully arched stems lined with dramatically showy blooms, Phalaenopsis Just Add Ice Orchids make a simple, yet stunning display whether they’re sitting on your kitchen counter at home or on the dining table of one of the country’s top restaurants.
