First flower on the spike and last flower.

Why do you think the last flower turned white?

Why do you think the last flower turned white?

The only thing I can think of is extra light. The spike got too long for its usual home so it was moved to a brighter spot…the last few flowers got gradually lighter.

Very interesting and thank for sharing, color is not something stable, it can be influenced by several factors temperature is important, humidity, light, etc, can also affect it…

With my experience with pale species, from a single cross some clones opened with colored flowers and got paler as they age, others do the opposite...

Both flowers are lovely and the additional light produced an almost white Phrag.
WOOHOO!

It's Sedenii Candidulum, because of the light color.
Here's my regular one from Ecuagenera. Phrag. schlimii Wilcox is supposed to be Sedenii but, I think the rounder shape and better substance and color show something extra in the parentage.

The colors are very temperature sensitive. Flowers that develop in cool to cold conditions have much more intense color than those that develop in warm conditions. You'd think they were different flowers.

The same happened with my Brysa which I have posted…..the latest flower is almost white.
