What are types of brightly colored flowers?

Are any natural, or do florists have to dye them to make them so vibrant?

It depends on the flower sometimes. Florists will dye things like roses for special events, but normally those are how flowers are naturally. Some of the best ones to plant are stargazer Lily for pinks and magentas. Snap dragons are sometimes multicolored and have really pretty coloring as well ranging from reds, oranges, and yellows.

There are many naturally bright colored flowers. I've never heard of florist having to dye flowers. I would think this wouldn't be a safe practice only because of dye running onto your dress or gown if held closely. There are bright yellow calla lillies, orhcids can have a deep purple/hot pink color. Tiger lillies are bright orange. All are beautiful.

Bright colored flowers are Alstromeria, gerber daisies, and dendrobian orchids. Generally the dyed flowers are done by the grower by a powder formula that gets soaked into the stem and dyes mostly mums.

Florists have a wide variety of brightly colored flowers to choose from. They can have naturally (or professionally bred) colored flowers such as roses, tulips, or irises, or create their own using food coloring or vegetable-based dyes like beetroot juice. Carnations and daisies can be colored in this way.
