Finishing the seedling descriptions
with a few really complex ones. In each
case, the ground is essentially a yellow
amoena, but the yellow flush on the
standards is much like that of the ivory =
ground pattern. =
MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION
Previously described under the
introductions post.
This seems to combine the =
ivory-ground pattern with a soft
yellow amoena and soft-blue
bitone. The mixture of pigments
yields pearl-grey standards, and
apricot falls washed with plum.
[Don't forget that nice big oxblood
signal!]
PALIMPSEST
Previously described under the
introductions post. =
Ground appears to be a soft
yellow amoena, overlay a soft
blue-violet bitone EXCEPT for
an area around the beard where
white ground shows through the
stippling.
89-1-4
S. Pinkish ivory, with yellowed ivory
flush extending up the midrib.
Style arms golden yellow.
F. Apricot with blush of violet and small
stippled violet signal.
One of my favorite flowers -- just wish
the plant had been stronger.
ASSIGNMENT:
Now that you've seen how the flavone,
carotene & anthocyanin pigment patterns
can interact in a single flower, let your
imagination run wild. What other complex
patterns can you envision?
End of seedling observations....
