The Mystery of the Orchid Continues...

The Mothers' Day orchid is in flower again, with yet another subtle variation.

These are the flowers produced in May; dark pink with a slightly speckled effect on the lower half.


These were produced in September; red and cream with pronounced speckles. I thought there was a slight possibility that there were two different plants in one pot, but...


... here we are in December, and these flowers have opened; they are on the very same stem as the May flowers, but rather than being dark pink, are the red of the September flowers, without any speckles.

I need to do more research...
