Encyclia alboxanthina - color change
 

This is open since the beginning of November. Now, forty days later, look at what the aging process did. The scent is still the same, everything is the same but the color, which turned into a vivid orange... Orchids and the weird things they do! The last picture shows the two moments, first days of November (L) and today (R).

Well that certainly is a dramatic change! There's not a clue in the green that orange will appear. Do you know of any other flower that changes so completely? I don't think I do.

Is it the "passing" of clorophyl? Something like "fall colors" in tree leaves?
