Nice! That same effect happens with orchids as well. If I bring an orchid in that just opened a few flowers and still has developing buds the later flowers are considerably smaller and lighter in color than the first ones to open. Its rather interesting how you can influence flower color that way. That reminds me to make a note to reduce light on a vanda I recently purchased. It had blue flowers when I bought it, and it rebloomed for me and these flowers are more purple. Too much light. I really wanted the blue flowers thats why I bought it!
How come ya flood your longifolia? I thought they liked it a bit on the dryer side.
JB_OrchidGuy, that's interesting. Maybe a lot of these cps that are claimed cultivars for their flowers are really just not getting enough light or vice versa.

Oh, ok. I just thought that since it's kinda like an epiphyte, it would like it more airy, which is why I keep mine in shallow water, and overhead water all the time. Maybe I should keep them more wet? They're growing like mad though.
