Agapanthus colors

I haven't but I object to the current practices some people are using. I am also an avid orchid grower. The blue ones you see in the stores are actually white. They inject a blue dye into the lower part of the flower stem.

introduced to Agapanthus, apparently because he had seen what he assumed
to be yellow and red ones at a Dutch flower market. He admitted they
might not have been Agapanthus (my first guess) but wondered if they
were genetically modified to introduce new colors. I also suggested that
these cut flowers may have been dyed, as chrysanthemums often are. Has
anyone heard about actual color changes newly found in Agapanthus?
