According to my horoscope my favorite color is suppose to be yellow, but it's blue. I've had Phalaenopsis before and they're suppose to be one of the easiest orchids to grow, but they don't last very long for me. The big sign for these Phalaenopsis was a new breakthrough in orchids. It's true that there are no true blue Phalaenopsis, and they do catch your eye. So I visited the website on the tag and read their faq they answer one question "will my orchid re bloom blue?" not with a yes or no, but but an explanation that they were white orchids grown in a special medium that took tears to develop (food coloring? lol) and the color may fade. Well, that's what they look like, they don't look natural. Now, there are blue orchids, they're just not Phalaenopsis. Take a Vanda coerulea is naturally blue, Vanda's are more difficult to grow if you don't have the conditions for them. Anyway, this Phalaenopsis is called Blue Mystique from Silver Vase Nursery. They are wholesale only, and they don't sell the special medium. I guess they're alright if you plan to throw away the plant after its done flowering, but it's not for me.
