In October I posted pix of my Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' with one spike blooming, one developing. The first spike is waning now, but the second spike is blooming.
I'm posting to show the color variation of the blooms on the two spikes. The first spike was developing in summer, and has the coloring you expect from this cultivar, the second spike was developing in fall, and due to cooler temps, the blooms have a dark colored lip. The previous two years, this has had spikes developing in fall, and they too had the mostly dark colored lips.
The first photo is from October, the others are current.
Thanks for looking
