Dtps. Chain Xen Diamond - A flower series
From a previous post we had some conversation about flower variability between flowerings of the same plant. Here are the six flowers on a spike of the last flowering of Dtps. Chain Xen Diamond 'Celebration' FCC-AOS, from first to last opening.

This is what makes it so hard to look at a photo in a post "please identify my NOID" and do so with any surity. And here, you know the lineage and look at the variation. As I understand this demonstration - this is same plant/same bloom spike/just different colorations? Great post - perhaps it needs to be posted as article so it doesn't get "lost" in the miriads of posts?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Actually (I wish my brain would take a rest!) what a great "sticky" thread for folks to post to. How about same sort of progress photos - different genera? I'd ask that only proven species or hybrids (ie. 'named') be posted. What do you think?

Wow, nice photo-opt. I can't believe how different they all look in one spike. Something to think about. What would cause this? Thanks for sharing Dave. And I agree with Ross, it should be turned into an article.

Excellent Dave, my thoughts...the lighter blooms are closer to the window getting more light than the darker shades. I found that the coloration in my purples are different in color depth due to the angle of the light, noting my growing area is in a nook with 3 side light differences, not to mention a larger slider. Not well versed on your plant locations but just a thought...
Am gain for other members thoughts.

I've heard/read that color variations of flowers on the same inflorescence are the result of temperature (at which flowers open). The cooler the temp, the deeper and more intense the color. This is especially true with harlequins.

I've heard the temperature theory myself multiple times. Thanks for the reminder!

Check out Bedford Orchids for more on this.
Howard is doing a lot of interesting breeding of 'novelty' type phalaenopsis AND his plants are getting their share of AOS awards. |

They are all on one plant and the same spike Ross, and you have motivated me to submit an article - it is already in the works, thanks for the suggestion.
