Nope, they'll be different most every time! You'll have one blooming with 5 different flower colorings. It's always fun to watch them change

Brenda the first time my 1st C#1 bloomed was in the dead of winter and all the flowers were pure white. It bloomed again in the heat of summer and that is when it displayed it's random red blotching. So it's temperature/light intensity related.

Update:
Same plant and over a year later. It put on a great show for me this year....and it's off in a show this weekend. Thanks for looking....I think this is still one of my fav phal species just because it is so unique.

I really love your orchid! I have one but in has not yet bloomed. I have my fingers crossed for summer!! Any tips for care? And could you get a shot of the whole plant so I can see the spikes?

Thanks all. I will take a couple more pictures when the plant is home from show. It is kept in a west facing window and gets a fair amount of afternoon light. Watered once to twice weekly depending on time of year. In a plastic pot with bark, spag, coco husk, lecca and charcoal mix. I certainly don't fuss with it much.

It certainly is unusual.
