Maybe it will change or maybe the flower will be a little different the next time the plant blooms. Or maybe not.
There is some variation among examples of hybrids that are all supposed to be the same thing. Some are cloned, so you can expect them to produce flowers like the picture shown where you buy it.
Others are seedlings. Maybe they're from the same grex as an awarded or noteworthy plant or maybe they're from subsequent crosses or from self-pollinated flowers. Whatever they are, they're sold with the same name and represented by the same picture, but they're not genetically identical.
This is a deceptive type of orchid marketing. Some orchid sellers specify the respective propagation methods in their listings. One that comes to mind is Orchids.com. Their prices are higher, but what you end up with if you buy from them is more of a sure bet.
