Flower color intensity (was Soils and flower color)

I have noticed my hippeastrum tend to bloom larger and with more color
saturation in the shade. Sun blooms are smaller and lighter colored.

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.
