I have noticed this for some time. It is different from PBF. Usually
seen on smaller plants (SDB & MDB), rarely on TBs. It is darker under
foliage as versus PBF which is darker (more intense) when not covered
by other foliage. Sometimes you can get both on same plant, I have
been taking photos of both of these phenomen as they cross the packing
bench and will post photos on iris-photo when I have the spare time,
or a least am less pressured by time, eg: Winter
