Have you moved it or brought it inside to enjoy the blooms? Maybe it's a difference in light received while developing.

The "old" flowers are about 1 to 2 months old and the plant has been in the GH all this time. The "old" flowers were on the plant when I got it....so, yes, it could be location....but then it's always location, location, location.....

That is wild! It looks looks like you have three different phals growing on the same spike. Sorry I have no clue why the patterns are different, let alone the colors!

I'd say the answer may come over the course of the coming month or two, while the newest bloom ages. Very interesting!

That's just it, Camille. The pattern on the new flower, in addition to the color beingh different, is different than the other flowers.

In my opinion, weather, fertilization and enviorment will change the color.

I see this quite often on Toulmnias but never, on Phals. It looks quite pretty but doubt that's the way its meant to grow. Probably because the older ones have been bloomed for some time, they've faded which again, I've never seen such drastic differences in the colors like, here. Very interesting.
I'm with jkofferdahl on this.
