I remember when the the bright blue Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid) and then a bright purple began appearing on the market ... everyone was oohing and aahing and buying them like crazy. A non-gardening acquaintance gave me a blue one about four years ago and I couldn't bring myself to tell her that subsequent blooms would be white. She just thought it was the most beautiful blue orchid ever and it was ... for one bloom cycle. http://blueorchid.org/the-myst...
