I looked for images of the flower when I saw the flower spike start to form, and the vast majority showed the spotted lip that you mentioned. Very pleasantly surprised with the solid purple, I love the way she looks. Definitely keeping this one. Now I just need to figure out why she did so much better in the office than in my home. She was getting about two hours of early morning sun throughout the spring and summer, perhaps that was the difference. And it was getting quite cool next to the window at night.
