Sounds like you are looking for reverse amoenas/neglectas. Most are still in the dream
stage.
The yellows still have a slight yellow rim which seems to defy
attempts at removal. JOYCE TERRY still rules this class.
CROWNED HEADS seems to be the best of the reverse
neglectas. There is light blue though in the falls.
A red and white reverse....on the drawing boards. I know of no
introduction. We're still trying to get true red. Rick Ernst has
something in the works....in the laboratory!
Maybe Mike Sutton can help us out by naming a few that might
be also considered.
