Key insights about video Orange Phalaenopsis Orchids that are not really Orange! - Optical illusion 😵‍💫

🌺 The video presents three Phalaenopsis orchids that appear orange due to an optical illusion created by intricate patterns and colors.

🌟 Phalaenopsis Little Zorro has a yellow background with a pattern that mixes purple and brown, giving the illusion of an orange hue from a distance.

👀 Although they seem to have an orange coloring, these orchids are actually showcasing a combination of other colors, like yellow and purple, that blend to create the effect.

🕵️‍♂️ Close examination of the flowers reveals that what looks like a brown pattern is actually a mixture of other colors overlaid on yellow.

🔎 The perception of orange can change with distance, as patterns on the orchids become less distinguishable, combining to form what seems to be a solid color.

🌸 Some of these Phalaenopsis orchids also have a mild fragrance, which is an added bonus for those interested in scented plants.

💡 The video encourages viewers to pay attention to the details of orchid petals and patterns to appreciate the complexity of their colors.

🛒 These orchids are compared to the often seen solid orange colored varieties and artificially dyed orchids, teaching viewers to distinguish natural coloration from artificial.

🌱 The speaker provides care tips and mentions that these medium-sized, compact orchids are suitable for those with limited space.

🛑 To identify artificially dyed orchids, viewers are advised to inspect the consistency of petal color and look for dye on the flower spike, which can indicate an unnatural coloration.

Q&A

What is the reason some orchids appear to be orange when they are not?

The appearance of being orange is an optical illusion due to a combination of yellow backgrounds and heavy and intricate patterns with a brown coloration. This brown coloration is created by a mix of more purple coloration with the yellow background, giving it a brown/orange appearance from a distance.

Why do Phalaenopsis orchids often seem to have orange flowers?

Phalaenopsis orchids are known to have a lot of dots, stripes, and intricate patterns on their flowers, which can create the illusion of different colors, such as orange, when in fact they are a mix of other colors like yellow and purple.

Are there any truly orange Phalaenopsis orchids?

Yes, there are solid orange-colored Phalaenopsis orchids. An example provided is the Phalaenopsis 'Smiley Tangerine,' which has a combination of yellow pigment and purple pigment that blends into a solid orange color.

Can Phalaenopsis orchids have scents?

Yes, some Phalaenopsis orchids can have a slight fragrance. For example, one orchid discussed has a slight citrusy, lemony scent, although it is not very powerful.

How can you tell if an orchid is naturally orange or artificially dyed?

You can tell if an orchid is artificially dyed if the color looks unnatural, inconsistent among the flowers, or if the flower spike has a coloration similar to the flowers, indicating where the dye was infused. Additionally, dyed orchids may have dye drippings on the roots or leaves.

What is the care for these Phalaenopsis orchids that appear orange?

The care for these Phalaenopsis orchids is the same as for any other flower shop Phalaenopsis, which typically involves providing sufficient light without direct sunlight, watering when the medium is dry, and ensuring high humidity and good air circulation.

Are all commercially available Phalaenopsis orchids labeled with their correct ID?

No, not all commercial nurseries provide an ID for the Phalaenopsis orchids they sell, making it challenging to search for specific varieties. Some are just identified as flower shop finds.
