    Very interesting.
    I know that it's possible.
    Dimorphorchis rossii produces two very distinct flowers on the same inflorescence.
    It is a plant similar to a vanda that has both fragrant yellow blooms and non fragrant white speckled ones.
    I am curious to see what your blooms will look like when they open!

    It will be interesting to see. I have seen orchids that produce a male bloom and a female bloom that look very different from each other, but never on a vanda. I have seen different colors on some oncidiums and phals. These color difference were due to temperature changes while the blooms were developing. How cool.

    Cheers,

    hi guys here is the bloom , i was wrong it was not 2 diff colors but a combination of pink and yellow, probably they dont want to be confuse so they combined the colors LOL ! sorry for the pics not so good.
