plantmanager said:I've noticed that my flowers on the milii fade out quickly. The little orange ones are only orange for a few days and then they are yellow. They hang on a long time, though, which is nice. My larger thai hybrid doesn't seem to fade out much. The larger flowers stay pretty much the same over time.

Does yours start out darker pink and then fade to the pale color?

Yes, they do seem to fade in color later on. I do notice if it is a really nice warm temp day, their colors are better, like temps in the mid 70's to mid 80's. That was why I am surprised to see this one I have bloom right now, it is not anywhere near those temps. Unless because I have been able to put it right by the south facing window, maybe it really helps, getting quicker access to direct sunlight, although sunlight duration is rather short during winter. I tend to take photos often, fun to see how the growth varies season to season.
