A blue orchid will bring a smile to even the hardest to please. True blue orchids are rare. 1888Orchids.com is proud to offer this beautiful blue dendrobium orchid that produces dark blue flowers! This long lasting beauty will add grace and elegance to any decor. Stands approximately 30 inches tall and is sent in bud and bloom ready to be enjoyed by the blue orchid lover on your list. Orchid is sent in a handsome wicker basket shown with living sheet moss. Available year-around.

NOTE: Depending on the light intensity surrounding the blue orchid, it may either appear dark lavender or blue. The flower is un-mistakenly blue. Place this beautiful orchid somewhere bright and the blue flowers look transparent. A closer look at the blue orchid flower reveals what appear to be chlorophyll veins which is that "elusive power" from which plants derive energy. With proper care, our blue orchid will last for weeks, maybe months.

Blue orchids are also offered as cut orchid flowers.  One of the most popular blue orchids are the dyed blue dendrobiums.  These orchids are infused with a blue dye to create the dark blue at the center of the flower and a more lighter, baby blue on the tip of the petals.  Blue dyed dendrobium orchids are popular for use in weddings, Hanukkah and birthdays!

Another variety that is also very beautiful and should do the trick if you are working with blue for a wedding or just want to send someone who loves the color blue.  These are alos blue dendrobiums but the color is naturally occuring.  Blue dendrobium orchids are special but when they are presented as cut orchid flowers, then you've taken it over the top.  The slightly lavender color of this blue makes this a special cut orchid flower indeed. 

The meaning of the word orchid is delicate beauty.  This meaning may be misleading because although orchids may be beautiful, they are not delicate - at least dendrobiums are not like this blue dendrobium orchid.  Dendrobiums are true epiphytes or true air plants and that is why some beginners find dendrobiums hard to grow.  But with proper care and a little tender love, our beautiful blue orchid will last for months.  Remember, this blue orchid likes bright light.  Our blue orchid will usually be grown in cedar bark so don't forget to water it at least twice a week.  The meaning for the color blue means depth and stability.  Send our beautiful blue orchid and a personal care message to add your own special meaning to this special orchid plant.  Other attributes of our beautiful orchid include.
