Re: [Aroid-l] Blue Anthuriums

From: Susan B <honeybunny442 at yahoo.com> on 2011.11.14 at 05:01:00 Yes, this is the same proprietary treatment that makes the blue orchids.  Supposedly it is a little more than the old "put the white carnation in the food dye" trick.  From what I understand the first flowers on the orchid are dark blue, the next set lighter- the next lighter yet.  They eventually get back to white but it takes a while- Rijinplants I think is the name of the company, they licensed the treatment and are making the blue and also yellow anthuriums.  Still, ick.
