Over on the Orchids forum, those dyed blue orchids are fondly known as the Ti-De-Bowl orchids because they look like they were dyed with toilet bowl cleaner.
Whatever, plant lovers won't buy those dyed plants, and there will always be people with bad taste who will, I guess. I try to make a loud comment about the dyed orchids whenever I see them at the stores . . . I'm not usually loud or rude but those things bring out the worst of my manners.

Trader Joe's is building a huge distribution warehouse here locally so maybe there will be more stores coming to Florida in the near future. Next summer my husband and I will be moving south to retire in Sebastian, Fl and the closest Trader Joe's to us there is @ 70 miles away in Palm Beach. I think we need more Trader Joes on the east coast of Florida!
