Ascofinetia 'Moonlight Firefly'
This is a pretty plant but last year it had different colored blooms. Does this happen frequently? Should I expect them to change back in the future?
The last time it bloomed it had a double spike and was basically white with a hint of orange on the face and pink on the outside of the bloom.
This time around it has pink stripes. The lineage is an Ascofinetia 'Twinkle' crossed with a Neofinetia falcata probably to give it fragrance or make it more compact.
I was going to repot it this spring since it shares a basket with a Vandafinetia 'White Crane' but they both started spiking within a few weeks of each other in February so it'll have to wait.
