White orchid turning pink?

[NineChickens]

I recently got a white orchid, but on some of the back petals they're turning pink. Is this normal?

Okay, so I talked to the person who gave it to me and they said its supposed to look like that. The nursery didnt have a true all white one, so they got this one. It just didnt have any color when I received it.

Interesting! I've never had an orchid do that. Is this the first time its bloomed since you've had it? Did you move its location during the budding phase?

When i bought it it was in bloom. I've only had it for about a week. I havent moved it. I have it right next to my south facing window.

I have the same exact orchid and when I bought it was light pink which is what color I thought it was then when it bloomed a second time it was white but gradually had a pink ting to it. Sometimes flowers of a variety of plants will do this as they the bloom ages especially those blooms that last a long time like an orchid. Sometimes fertilizers will cause this.
