Nice flower, and I know you are somewhat disappointed in how pale it is.
Plants vary as to location, and what they're fed. Maybe it's the quality of sunlight, or temperatures, or the Earth's magnetic field!
I have one that's supposed to bloom constantly, and only blooms twice in a year and a half: me or it to blame? And I have another that's supposed to be 'black', and was the first time it bloomed, but this time, it's mud colored. Owell!
