Soo pretty! :bowing :bowing
I want to ask though on the dendro in the background, those white hairy things, are those roots or some kind of medium? |
Are you referring to what is commonly called "Spanish moss" which is neither Spanish nor moss? I believe it is a type of bromeliad. Grows like mad in the southernmost parts of the US and is found also in Mexico and, I imagine, even farther south. It can be quiet ornamental but if it gets too big it can tend to shade the tree on which it is found. There are places in Mexico where orchids are found growing alongside the moss. At christmastime in Mexico the tradition is to set up what is called a "nacimiento" depicting the visit of the astrologers to the christchild. The moss is used as a background.

Ditto to previous suggestions. Has this happened on previous flowerings or is this the first time?
If plant is still in bloom, bring it to an AOS judging center. It can be evaluated by judges and if it meets / exceeds standards for size, shape and form, it could be considered for JC for unusual color. You would need to know grex name of plant. I have seen similar occurences on occasions - but with totally different flowers on separate inflorescences. Most notable is 'Cat's Paw Magician' ... flowers on one inflorescence were totally different from flowers on the other. |
