Australian Tropical Rainforest Orchids

Flower colour patterns

Where the basic colour of the flower is patterned with stripes, spots, bands and/or blotches.


Dots/blotches: these are small to large patches of colour with distinct or irregular margins.

Stripes/striations/bands: these are long lines of colour that can run lengthwise or across the flower parts.

None: where there are two or more colours but in no obvious patterns or where the flower is a single colour.
