| Blue & Yellow Phal?
No longer keeping a lot of orchids, but I was at OSH today and was looking at the plant section and I saw blue and yellow phals. Legitimately blue and yellow. Forget the name. Never seen these before, but they look unnatural. Are they from the wild, or were they dyed? They were alive and very healthy looking. The only reason I didn't get one was because they're $34.99 and I don't have the cash to drop on one right now. So are they natural or were they dyed? Has anyone seen them before? How much is a fair price? I'm going to definitely get one if I can find one for a cheap price.   "Blue Mistique Orchid"  |

They are dyed and will not rebloom blue.

They are dyed. I have one that was given to me as a gift last year. It now has 2 spikes...I'm sure they will be white. I guess I should definitely post pics of it when it blooms as it might be interesting to see what they really look like before that horrible blue dye is used.

Rats... Those are probably the prettiest orchids I've seen. Too bad they turn white.  Thanks for all the replies guys!  |

I've seen a bunch of these recently at a craft fair. Also, come in purple and I think they are died by using food coloring in the water. Anyone have other ideas???  |

They are dyed... As the flowers continue to bloom upward on the spike (once in your care) they will start to go almost a tye-dye effect because the coloring not being used anymore, and will fade to white. The yellow is the natural part of the flower. Don't waste your money on the hype
