Lc. Gold Digger (Lc. Red Gold x C. Warpaint) actually... Most likely conditions. It isn't at all uncommon for flowers to be slightly different in different years or in different collections. As an example, I have about 100 Sc. Crystelle Smith 'B&K Orchids" which bloom out different shades of pink/lavendar, even grown on the same bench. In this case I think it is just a plant that is hypersensitive to the environment, and the color is greatly affected by the environment when the bud is developing. -- Rob's Rules: http://littlefrogfarm.com 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a) See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more orchids, obtain more credit |
