Not surprisingly, low light levels result in more faded flowers.

Interesting. I've had the exact opposite effect with many Moraea species --
they open with a fairly intense color that fades over time. So, for example,
a flower will open yellow and fade to off-white. The more sun the plant
gets, the faster the fade.
