🙂 I found these two in the pot today,
Well I was moving some orchids around,
With some out of flowering . .
And doing some general cleaning,
Possibly, both New growths, that have popped up
But one does look a little chunky 🤞
I haven't seen any other members with these
Post their pictures,
Maybe not many around ..
I think it's a New growth,
And I'm good with that 🙂

It's the Feather look on the flowers . .
I found some very interesting information yesterday about another one of my Cymbidium's Feathered 🙂
I will Add it to my post.
Here is what it reads :
Cloning of a mutation is risky. When Winter 'Splash' was originally cloned, only about 1 in 500 flowered like the original WFS. The other 499 flowered like the other one above, which we called Winter'Frosty' . It was a nice plant, and grew and flowered well, but nothing like the real thing.
Here is another one of my gorgeous Feathered Orchids, in bloom
Got another Spike to flower also ..

Feathered flowers generally come from mutations during the mericloning of an original cultivar. Some are "stable" meaning they bloom with the feathering on all segments on every flower each year they bloom. Some are "unstable" and either differ on the individual flowers or fail to develop the feathering on subsequent bloomings.
Some grexes are notorious for multiple feathered variations and or other peloric markings every time they go through the mericlone process. Grex in point is Winter Fire mericloned by Casa de las Orquideas in San Diego, CA.
