The Kupari X regina cross gave a number of plicatas. The regulator
pallida X reginea (two different pallidas) gave pretty much the
same. I'd have to look up the pictures. will try to do so later.

Of note is that the paper spathes of pallida is dominant. Did you see
same thing?

Hi Chuck,
Have you done other pallida x variegata crosses and do they look
similar too? I did 'Kupari' X variegata "Beardsley clone" and those
were very much different from these reginae babies. Aside from the size
(height and flower size) the 'Kupari' X 'Beardsley' babies had form
more typical of an old historic tall bearded. These Loppio x reginae
babies all have narrow strappy horizontal falls and are much smaller
all around. Just wondering if you seen these kinds of differences
between reginae and other variegatas?
Oh and here's that close-up I said I'd try to get... the one in my hand
is the more violet seedling (in between the two nearly indentical
sibs). I wish my camera did a better job of capturing the blue-violet
colors accurately.

Seem fairly similar to my I. pallida X I. variagata regina
