Is there a Blue orchid ?

[PaphMadMan]

Several species of Thelymitra are truly blue, or at least as blue as the bluest Delphinium. But your teaching partner probably saw one of those hideous blue-dyed Phalaenopsis.

Good luck finding a Thelymitra (Sun Orchid), as far as i am aware, it is illegal to cultivate and sell them in Australia and New Zealand, and they are found only in our vicinity (of the world that is).
