I think all of the above. Actually, looking at its parentage, I wonder more where the pink/white ones come from... one parent is Blc Orange Nuggett (which is intensely orange) and the other is Dial. Snowflake, which is white with a pink blush. But Blc. Orange Nuggett is fairly complex. One thing that can make it complicated is that if they are balanced, pink + yellow can equal white. Think of Paph. Armeni White (white) = P. delenatii (pink) x P. armeniacum(bright yellow). So the exact genetic combination can do all sorts of things. Add in the complexity of different parents down the family tree, this one has all sorts of possibilities.
