Chief, They place the end of the stem inside a small sealed plastic test-tube like container with a bright blue liquid in it. The stem takes it up and the flowers become vividly coloured. The ones that are not "dyed"like this are usually white (at least thoe I saw at the florists in Delhi.)

It's a Dendrobium but its probably painted for that colour.
