It seems like you may be on to something with this Neil.  
One of the things I have noticed is that the zonals in 
general do seem to involve the bluer expressions of 
anthocyanin.  (Though this may just be the case with the 
ones I've seen)  At least CLARENCE, TIME ZONE,CITY LIGHTS 
and VICTORIA FALLS are.  That would seem to point to a 
modifier.

Maybe zonal x glaciata crosses would be helpful too.  I do 
have TIME ZONE, hopefully I can get a take with CLarence 
this spring as well.

keep letting myself get distracted by all this fun HYB 
stuff : )
