Default Why No Blue Orchids

You are right in that there are no proper blues in the commonly grown
orchids. However, a few nice blues do come to mind. Have a look at
the following sites that I've quickly pulled from Google.

Thank you Weng for putting the Ron Heberle Thelymitra page first when
it comes to real blue orchids, but Western Australia has some other
blue orchids too. Take a look at this page....

Cyanicular orchids are some of the bluest you will find anywhere. The
whole of the Species Orchid Society of Western Australia web site has
over 1000 pictures of the WA natives including so many blue orchids, it
would turn your head.

Please enjoy
