At some point in the past year or so, I reported on a seedling I have been 
watching.  It was in a mum pot for over 2 years and hasn't bloomed.  The thing 
about this seedling that caught my attention was the heavy reddish purple pbf.  
It was the highest and darkest I'd seen on a seedling.

At one point this summer I cut the clump into 5 or six chunks, and it sat 
that way for a month to six weeks before I finally planted it in a bed of 
reselects.  Once again it drew my attention.  Of all the plants in that bed, it 
regained it's green coloration much quicker than the others.  

On closer examination, I found the pbf is totally gone!  Could it be the 
stress of transpant?  Anyone have experience with changes this severe?  

Should I blame the heat?  Several of my 'favored' seedlings (1812) have pbf 
showing.
