I've seen those blue orchids, and also dyed orange ones at Home Depot for sale. The tags do say the succeeding flowers will be white.

Going to hazard a guess here, that most people who would actually buy a dyed orchid are probably the kind of folks who will throw out the plant after the blooms are finished anyway. Sad to think some grower nurtured the plant for 3 or 4 years to have it thrown in the trash after its first bloom cycle.

Why the heck would you need to dye an orchid? They grow in such incredible colors naturally.
