It sure looks peloric to me and if so this trait is in the genetics of the plant and cultural changes won't matter. I think it's a lovely flower as is.
Does anyone know if the first bloom of a peloric orchid will always have peloric petals??? I know first blooms can very often produce a flower that does not look much like the second year bloom; maybe this is why the flowers were 'flat' when purchased.
