Changing orchid color with food coloring?

[CA2FLxplant]

Big box stores very often have the dyed phals...I think there's a vendor called Silver Vase that does the dyed plants. BTW, when they rebloom, they're white...I had one a couple years ago. I do still have it. It's still white. 😉

Another option would be spray paint - a can of florists spray paint won't set you back much, and it can be used on live plants too, not just cut flowers.

That sounds more like a sure thing in my mind

At my local supermarket they have died blue and pink/red Phals. Actual living plants, the tag says that the plants have been given a dye so the white flowers turn colors, they warn you that the next bloom will be white. So somehow they fed plant with a dye that changed flower color. Plant looks normal as well as roots.

I do wonder just how this turned out. One also wonders with this day in age if she is still married. It has been 8 years now.

There are two types of dyed flowers. One is simply spray painted, while the Silver Vase ones have the dye injected into the flower spike.

I just noticed the date of the initial post. Well spotted.
