Gives
me hope for the JOINT VENTURE seedling that has germinated this
winter.
I've only read the description of LOVELY BLANCHE. How did it
look as you
grew it? Or better yet, does anyone have a photo of LB
they could
post.
I'm sure I have a picture of it somewhere, probably stored with Gene's
records. It was a very soft pink, with just enough pale violet plicata
markings to show that it was a recessive pink rather than pink by virtue of the
inhibitor. I don't think I have a photo of its sib that was the parent of
JOINT VENTURE, though. It had more pronounced markings than LOVELY BLANCHE
itself, so that the plicata pattern was more obvious. JOINT VENTURE has
given me a large variety of colors, patterns and forms, including some
pixellated pinks, and I still hope that it will find the right partner to
recover the solid pink.
