If I'm putting it all together correctly...
1) Glaciatas are the recessive whites (lacking
blue/purple anthocyanin pigments) that sometimes show
up among bearded seedlings. The lack of anthocyanins
gives them an especially clean (unmarked) haft area.
2) They have usually shown up from plicata breeding?
3) When a glaciata has yellow pigments, it's also
called a "lemon ice"?
Feel free to correct any of these statements, if
they're off base.
My two questions are:
Have there been any pink glaciatas ("pink ice") in
commerce?
And since "Elsa Sass" is a lemon ice and has very
strongly purple tinted foliage bases - the inability
to produce anthocyanins must be restricted to the
flowers in a glaciata. Would this be an accurate
statement?
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter. Tom
