Dyed Orchid Roots
Dyed orchid roots.
Professional growers inject dye into the stems of white orchids to create colours not found in Nature.
The dye leaves a tell tale stain on the stems and roots.
This orchid had striking multi-coloured flowers.
The flowers died back naturally and now, a few months later new shoots are appearing.
It is likely to revert to its original colour now, so I will be very curious to see what appears.
