Orange cymbidium (NOID)

[Selmo]

Found a picture of it last year. This year it does have four spikes again. You can see a little of the copper color at the base if the flower. I do believe that the amount of light plays a important role in the color

Beautiful colour and the lip!

In my experience temperature does seem to have an influence on flower colour in Cymbidiums (although not necessarily the cause of the colour change you have seen here), I cant post a link or photos yet but there is a discussion with pictures about this on orchidforum dot eu, look for the thread Spots Ahoy on the cymbidium page

The good part of Forum discussion is that you get many people chiming in with different opinions. The down size is that you have to know enough about the subject to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff. Listen to your common sense and most often it will keep you on the right track.

In viewing the link, the difference here is the marking on the lip as opposed to the color of the flower, which we are discussing here. Yes, temperature will affect the markings on the lip, although I have not seen this dramatic a change. Light affects the overall color of the sepals and petals.

Here is an update (new photo) on the cooper colored cymbidium. You cannot take a bad picture of this one

Looks like an Enzan Forest 'Majolica'
At least in the updated photo it does

This plant will be darker in more light and lighter in less light

That is beautiful !

[Bobits]

So pretty! Love the copper.

[No-Pro-mwa]

It really is a beauty, I want it! I will only hope that some day I will get mine to bloom.

Cymbidiums will definitely lighten in color as the flower ages. Bright light as the flowers open may also dilute the intensity of the color. Although cymbidiums require very bright light year around, putting them in deep shade as flowers open will result in more vivid colors.
The orange color is gorgeous. A real stunner!
