I personally love the red one. However, I think the pink is different as it's sepals & petals are the same.....so round. I don't think I have personally seen one like that. Usually there is a marked difference between them.
Thanks for the pics.

I love that one too! I have a fascination for things that are "out of the norm" and usually go after odd species, but latley I've found myself drawn to the cyms.

It is often these "out of norm "plants that hybridizers choose to breed with , and you will notice that cymbids bred in Australia are showing this "round" feature more and more
I recently saw a pic of a pendulous cymbid where each spike splits into two spikes !!! The owner is going to use this plant in his beeding program in the hope that its offspring will carry this trait ,
