Just when you thought it couldn't get worse....

Many have already had the misfortune of seeing those god-aweful dyed blue phals. Did you know that the perpetrators of that obscenity are also injecting dye into dens?


From The Letters & Leaves blog -- the dens are are the purple abominations below the garish blue phals....

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for the death of good taste (My apologies to Poe)

Yes, I do believe we have seen the death of good taste. I cannot think of 1 nice thing to say about those phals or dens.

I think they should be banned at orchid shows honestly. Sort of makes a mockery of what we all do, I think.

BLECH!

the even sadder thing is, that dens come naturally in shades of purple!!

this is sicko!

[ronaldhanko]

They are obscene.

Seems lazy to me. Instead of trying to produce a "blue" they cheat and inject with dyes. It's really sad and seems like it wouldn't be good for the plant either.

Not at all to my taste Yuck!

I showed my hubby the blue phals and without any comment from me about whether I liked them or not, he said "Yuck, they look unnatural", to which I had to agree!

...scratching around for something not bad to say.... um... at least the dens aren't that neon type blue that the phlas are.... best I could do I'm afraid. But, I guess as long as people keep buying them, they'll keep wanting to make money. I wonder what they'll pick on next! (how long before there's a bright blue Cym invading our shops?)
