i have seen some really nice NATURAL blue (if you could call it blue, its more aproaching purple/violet) phals, mainly crossed with doritis, but i looked on Images, and UGH! those things are repulsive! worse than the Chaos god Nurgle (computer game hehe....) if you ask me!
I saw one last weekend at an orchid show, they had a big april fool's sign on it. At least the seller was telling everyone that it was dyed.
Putting dye into flowers is bad, but around here at Easter time, you can find people selling baby chickens that are all colors of the rainbow. They actually dye living baby animals: blue, pink, orange, stripped, green, and any other color that you can imagine. I was completely horrified the first time seeing something like this. Guess everything has been done before.
Cheers
