Re: TB: HYB: White falls and colored standards ?
Hi James,
We would all like flowers like that! :-) A lot of hybridizers are working
towards what you are requesting and I have seen some really nice yellow and
white and orange and white reverse seedlings. One of the nicest reverse
ameona to date is CROWNED HEADS. It has dark blue standards and almost pure
white falls. IN REVERSE, one of the parents of CROWNED HEADS is also a nice
reverse ameona but it doesn't quite have the contrast that CH does. QUITE
THE REVERSE a newer one from ( I think off the top of my head) Bill Marryott
is pretty nice too. Quite a few suppliers carry IN REVERSE and CROWNED
HEADS, just check the catalogs. You will have to wait a little bit for the
other colors to be released. Hope that helps.
