Yep, it was dyed when you bought it and the new blooms are its natural colours. Congrats on the new flowers!

I really wish the nurseries/stores would not dye them like this. But alas, they do. I am glad you took good care of it and it is now back to its natural color.

I’m curious how they dye them? Like would adding food dye to the water work or do they inject it like they do with those neon fish at pet stores?
