PBF in 'Kupari'

---

Hi Neil,

 

Definitely no PBF in my 'Kupari', not even a trace of purple anywhere on the plants at any season.  I do have a "blue" pallida that, very like 'Dalmatica', that shows the faintest trace of purple on the edge of the base of the leaf at bloom time, but you practically need a magnifying glass to find it.  It really surprised me when I noticed it, as the plant is very typical I. pallida.  Even so, I'm not sure if it qualifies as true PBF.

 

I also have a few I. pallida that show a hint of purple on the young spathes (right before they go papery), but I don't remember which ones.  Seems maybe all the (three) cengialtii clones do, but I'm not certain.

 

I see the PBF on Tom's pod-loaded hybrid too.  Otherwise I thought the plant looks a lot like I. pallida.  I can't remember what 'Rosemary's Dream' looks like, and now I'm curious.
