Accidental orchid addiction

[Bluelynx]

I remember when I was a kid back in Tassie and walking with my uncle. We found these tiny flowers growing wild, my uncle called them "bush orchids". I remember thinking it was the most beautiful flower I had ever seen.

Fast forward to two years ago, and one of my colleagues gives me a white orchid for Christmas. I'm not great with plants, and I've heard orchids are pretty hard to keep alive. I put the plant on my windowsill, and hope my colleague won't be offended when it inevitably dies.

Except it doesn't. It thrives. I was given another orchid last Christmas by another colleague, and then last week yet another colleague brought in a miniature orchid that she thinks will die if she keeps it and gave it to me.

So now I have three... and a sudden craving for more. I have two phalaenopsis, and one that looks like the phalaenopsis but is tiny, the tag says its a "Tea Cup Orchid". I am looking forward to learning more about these beautiful plants, expanding my collection, and perhaps meeting some fellow addicts

I do have a question to start out - my local grocery store has some orchids that are vibrant blue in colour. Are there really bright blue orchids or are these likely dyed somehow?
