Strange Bloom
I have an orchid , its called Slc. "tangerine jewel " , here is whats going
on , the plant is really healthy , and blooming now , all past blooms have been a soft tangerine color , but this bloom is solid white.... do some orchids revert back to their parentage , I mean its not a big deal , but but will all of the flowers from now on be white ? just wondering , and a tad bit confused about it.... Good growing ! Todd |

No. An orchid's flowers may improve as the plant grows larger [second
blooming is often much better than first -- more, bigger flowers], but not a dramatic change in color. I have heard these reports, occasionally, over the years, but it has never happened to me.

I've seen at least one case where it was apparent that two seedlings had become intertwined not seperated at the flask or compot stage. What appear to be a single plant clearly had two different flowers. deg |

Strange Bloom
Quite true. I was speaking of a single plant. Perhaps I should also
mention that less dramatic color changes may result from differences in light levels [and possibly other cultural factors], but I have never seen those turn an orange to white -- just lighter or darker shades of the same general color. The most extreme example at my place is Epc. Frances Dyer -- grown shady, its flowers are a nice deep grape; grown sunny, they're washed-out lavender.
