Wow that color is so aptly named!
Lovely. My suggestion is to give it a good talking to about
flower direction. :>)
flower direction. :>)
You know... I thought we had an understanding. A much stronger talking to will be required next year.
Easy solution, just give light from one direction whilst the buds are developing.
Nice colour,

David, this one grew under the small light while in spike and was never moved. It still did not open in the same direction. Sometimes things don't cooperate with reason.
It looks like the inflorescenses come out of different sides of the plant from different bulbs, so it would be unlikely they would face the same direction regardless of light source, unless they are 'forced' which may break them. I say leave them, as the third bud may open to fill the gap. When the plant gets bigger (and they will), you want them to flower 360 all around (as they do naturally). So in this case, a scolding is not a necessity IMO LOL.
