This is a great time to buy an orchid for yourself to use as a centerpiece for your Easter brunch or to give to your family and friends who are hosting!
Whether it's yours or a gift, don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself a “plant person.” Phalaenopsis orchids are relatively low maintenance plants, and you’ll find you can easily adapt to a simple care routine.
If you’ve passed the orchid display at your local store recently, you’ve probably noticed that the displays are dominated by white and gorgeous shades of purple. They range from delicate, pale lavender to deep, rich, velvety royal purple.
The Easter holiday always fills stores with florals in white and purple, the traditional Christian colors of Lent and Easter. Color plays an important role in the Christian religious calendar. Christians use color to reflect the changing seasons of the religious calendar and symbolize the significance of liturgical events. During the Easter season, purple and white are used to symbolize the Lenten journey.
Purple is the liturgical color of Lent, representing pain, suffering and penitence. But purple is also the color of royalty, imbuing the season with a sense of majesty. On Easter Sunday, churches are decorated in white and gold, the colors of hope, purity and reverence, to convey joy and celebration.
Bring the Lenten season into your home and celebrate the joy of Easter with purple and white Just Add Ice Orchids.
