Orchid flower Blue & pink on living room table (Oldest flower) 16th January 2020
Comments on this photo
Thank you both but, (unfortunately), the dye they used to obtain this colouring has long since washed away & now the flowers have reverted back to their true & original colour which is pure white with a little yellow in the centre.
I must say though it's equally stunning! :)

I don't really know how they do this but I did know that blue doesn't exist in Orchids & therefore had to be a vegetable used to make them change colour.
Just yesterday the 10th, & last, flower bud opened. Now I have a scape with 10 perfect white flowers! (Though the oldest have a little bit of pink in them which doesn't take away from their beauty!)
