This blue orchid will probably surprise a lot of people because no one voted for blue in the last poll.
Interestingly, it turns out that blue orchids don’t exist in nature; the bluish-looking ones are just shades of purple. The blue orchids in stores are artificially colored, and usually, if there’s a second blooming – the flowers are white. However, depending on where the die has been put, there might be some leftover blue color in the petals. Here‘s a video showing how to make a blue orchid at home.

Very pretty orchid, ellie925 !!
Thank you so much, Branka!
Lovely shade of blue too! Are they dyed?
The blue onesare usually died, it seems.
I have always wondered that. I saw some at Home Depot not too long ago that looked like that. Thanks Ellie!
Here, they are more expensive than the natural ones, so it’s not really worth it unless you really like the color.
That seems silly, I prefer natural colors. Plus, I bet they fade over time.
Yes, I hear that if there’s a second bloom, the blossoms are usually white.
Very pretty orchid, there are so many varieties.
That’s true, but these are usually artificially colored.
Wow, I didn’t expect them to be blue but I had a blue orchid a few years ago, they are so pretty.
They are beautiful indeed. Did yours hava a second bloom?
what a beautiful and gentle flower. Great share!
Thank you very much!
I’ve seen blue orchid before … not too long ago when I posted it
I remember your post. It actually reminded me that I have this photo I used for the challenge.
A stunning orchid, I haven’t seen one like this before. Thanks for sharing this.
They look very unique indeed.
Blue orchids are artificially colored. I had one that over time changed its color.
Yes, in the video I linked they even show how the flower is colored.
I saw a blue orchid at my hairdresser.
They are very interesting and unique, but they loom a bit unnatural.
The hues may appear differently on different screens. In person it’s blue, but it does look a bit artificial.
I am always amazed how different colors look on my phone and my computer.
Oh wow, I would love to have blue orchids. Stunning!
They are beautiful indeed, but I decided not to buy them because I was worried they are artificial.
I was really surprised by the result. I saw blue in the store. And I assumed it was colored, and I preferred to buy white for my daughter-in-law’s gift.
It’s what has stopped me from buying a blue orchid too, and they are also more expensive.
