Soon that flower will turn pure yellow. I too like the way it changes color.

 OK, DC. If you're going to get as serious about orchids as it appears you are, you need to work on your naming accuracy, both spelling and nomenclature.
Brassocattleya Yellow Bird is a cross of the species, Brassavola nodosa, with the pollen of the hybrid Brassocattleya Richard Mueller. Bc. Richard Mueller is a cross of Cattleya (formerly Laelia) milleri on Brassavola nodosa.
There ain't nuthin' named "Nordosa", and "Meuler" is just plain wrong. |

The tag is wrong, too.
Brassavola nodosa, being a species, should not have the "N" capitalized.

DC, at least you are not to blame for the error on the tag. Don't feel bad, we've all been there. Last month I took a plant to my orchid society to share, filled out the information based on the tag it came with, and was told by the (very knowledgeable) judge that it was not that plant at all. In front of the whole OS. Embarrassing!

Too much perfection takes the fun out of life. Strive for excellence and enjoy learning. We've all been wrong... And will be again.
