The article of mine in Bulletin on Anthrocyanin inclusions has
microscope photo of one of these type of cells.

Â

So I can reply directly to this message if I'm using Google Chrome, but
not if I'm using Internet Explorer 10. ÂThere is also a visible
thumbnail of the photo using GC. ÂI thought Yahoo had blocked those
from the archives forever? ÂOr has my mind just completely faded away?
ÂI thought that was why the archives moved to hortnet? ÂOr did Yahoo
just keep thumbnails and not the full photo. ÂIn any case, I'm glad
Chuck chimed on this. ÂIs there an extreme visible example of this type
anthocyanin in a specific cultivar where I can go look at a photo
maybe? Â

I'm not sure what pigments are in this one. Parents were both
anthocyanin on white,

pod was bluish purple zonal from an anthocyanin amoena seedling (from
IMM X Celebration Song) X Seakist

pollen was Center Ice (pure white with blue rim)

The bloom looks pinkish tan yellowish brown. I thought it was probably
a mix of yellow and anthocyanin, but an overnight soak in 91% isopropyl
alcohol barely changed the color - no blue in the soak water, a tiny
bit
of yellow maybe, not sure of that.

Not totally surprised the soak didn't extract all the yellow, but not
sure what to make of what didn't soak out? I've had lots of beards
that
took several days of soaking to remove all the yellow pigments, but
never a petal before.
