Bought a Blue Phal...

I agree, everyone has their own likes and dislikes and they wouldn't make them if they couldn't sell them.

I think I'm somewhat on the fence. I don't think I would buy one, but I think on another thread someone said that these NoID Phals are really for the cut flower market anyway and as such what they are doing is not really worse than the mass producing they are doing for that market

I think they are sick-cool looking, but I just wonder how healthy the plants are...it looks like they inject dye of some sort in the stem to get the color...Just wondering if anyone else has seen /purchased a Blue Phal.

I attached a picture -- I do think they are pretty cool looking.

Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of a NOID White phalaenopsis.

I hate to burst your bubble but, as others have mentioned, blue phals are dyed.

Yepp...I know...I kinda knew this from the beginning. I am happy with a white NoID.

Well, my memory sucks, but I just saw either our prime minister or your president (Obama) or the young royals getting presented with one of those blue phals on the news last night. I just can't remember who, but it was someone rather important! So there ya go
