Oh yes I do love them...but the colorfuze is a process that I've seen used with Mums...they are fed a dye with their water and the blooms carry the dye. The leaves are rather large and I'm wondering if the plants haven't been given a dose of gibberlic acid. All this monkeying around doesn't improve on the beauty, I think. It just adds a rather ephemeral character, because, I'm sure that now it will revert to white as they will receive only water and fertilizer from me!

Thanks for the info Lori ,It's interesting to know how they do the colour dye ,it makes you wonder what would happen if you put organic cake colouring in the plant water , you are probably right in thinking it will revert back to white once you stop doing it ..

Lovely blue colour. All my Moth orchids are not doing all that well ....so they are being fussed over then the compost heap if they don't respond. now I can see the garden.
