almost 4 years agoHi, I purchased a Yellow Bird last spring and it was chrome yellow. I started growing 100% under lights and mine bloomed first with the yellow throat/reddish petals. All of the blooms lightened up yet look more like the orangish-yellow shade. It has been two weeks and they haven't gotten any brighter. I thought maybe it was the artificial light. Yours appears to be outside. So now I am thinking something in the water/fertilizer. Still looking for a definitive answer. I want my chrome yellow back!

almost 4 years agoIt might fade to yellow - I had one a while back and I remember that color changed after opening to the point of wondering why they named it "yellow" bird

Description: Usually yellow nodosa shaped flower with red spotting. However, this morning i came out to find a reddish orange flower alone on one spike and two typical yellow with red spotting flowers on another spike. I suspect there have been two separate plants growing together since I bought this plant a couple of years ago. Updated 12-19-2020. Reddish flower has faded to a pale orange, but pale yellow flowers have darkened. Notice the spotting on the darker flower is much heavier than on the other two.
Culture: Net pot with fir bark, charcoal and vermiculite
