ORCHIDS

CHERRY BLOSSOMS
(These are some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen…)

Blue Orchids!

When I went grocery-shopping the other day,
these orchids placed close to the store’s front door practically jumped out to greet me!  
Their vibrant electric blue color was so unusual that I could not pass by without taking a closer look. 
I took a few pictures with my camera phone. 
They’re not as clear as I’d like, but I want to share them anyway.

Meet the “Blue Mystique,” the world’s first blue Phalaenopsis orchid!

The Blue Mystique is not painted, and it’s not hybridized.
It is the result of a patented process that infuses white orchids with a special medium.

This technique has been perfected after many years of research and testing,
using naturally derived elements and remaining environmentally conscious.

Following the treatment of a plant,
the buds on the current stem will open to flowers in a lighter shade of blue.
I’m guessing this may be the case with the lighter blue flower below.
When new stems form, their flowers will probably be white.

This information was obtained from the Silver Vase Nursery website.
