Paul,
Please continue to contribute such relevant info. I, for one, find the
assumption that, "If I haven't seen it myself (you can substitute "If I
don't think it sounds believable"), then it hasn't happened" very
frustrating. Color reversion does occasionally happen in the plant
world. Irises turning white, while possibly unlikely, is feasible. I
find the tone of some of the postings on this topic very condescending,
even insulting.
