The two blooms are on the same spike. One of them has abnormal colored lips. It is said that the weather factor plays an important role on it. Does anyone have the same problem?

It seems that the red-lip yellow colored cattleyas easily to have such mutation. I paid a visit to a local nursery yesterday and saw some plants with such condition.

This is called peloric right?
Say a dendrobium spike. Maybe 1 out of the 15 flowers appear mutated/out-of-shape.
It's not an issue I read.

Peloricism is when petals mimic the lip.
