I had, and enjoyed greatly PERFECTION many years ago. This cv is
quite different in color with a certain amount of yellow pigment
present. I do not recall Perfection having any yellow showing.
My posted scan was not very clear. I will re-scan with more detail
and post a larger file, but it may be some days before I get this
done.
The spathes are not papery at all, nor become so as the blossom
matures and falls. Linda Mann may have misunderstood what I meant
about variegata and pallida---this appears to me to be an advanced
generation hybrid of the two species, probably without admixture of
other species materials, but dominated by characteristics from
variegata except for the stem height. The height is on the order of
32". I cannot find my notes on the measurements I took last spring,
but that was on a first-year plant anyway, and an established plant
may differ.
It is later than midseason in bloom. PBF yes, but not to an extreme
degree. Other than height and the presence of the "blue" pigment
there is little of pallida ancestry apparent.
