Bud angle

[Steve83]

Last week I purchased a C jungle beau which had two buds. Over the past couple of days, I saw a tiny bit of red petal at the tips, which has progressed.

I had the plant positioned directly below my lamp, arpproximately 40" away (while I determine how close I can they can get). This morning I moved it up higher, and off to the side approximately 24", and it is somewhat protected by a large bromeliad.

Prior to moving, the buds pointed straight up. When I returned home from work this afternoon, the buds have tilted 45degrees, and are pointing toward the lamp (again). I know some plants often do this when wanting more light, but I wasn't sure if that were the case. The sepal? turned yellowish today as well, but that is also the main color of the flower.

I thought I had read something which mentioned orchid flowers blooming inverted?

So, I'm at a loss if this plant wants more light, or if the movement is standard while they are in the process of blooming. I also picked up a Gomesa crispa (which I've kept tucked further away from the lamp) on the same day which had two spikes in bud, which coincidentally started opening up today.

Thank you in advance
