affecting 2 outer stalks, not middle ones. one flower on it, was opening and was white, i think its first bloom. any clues as to why?
Eric hybrid with deformed? leaves on a couple of branches?
Arlene, I had a couple do this, I cut the deformed leaves off, sprayed with cinnamite and now the leaves are coming back normal. The lab said it was cyclamen mites, too small to be seen without a microscope.
This is a strange looking plant. Is the bloom going to be normal? I have no idea unless it might be some kind of deficiency. Will all the brugs you have, I wouldn't think that would be the case.
I sent my friend Renee a cutting or more of Frosty Pink last year. One is growing, but has variegation. Strange things do happen. I hope she can keep this one going. Will be begging for one back. :-) Would like to know why this is happening this year too.

Arlene,
Is this Eric's Versicolor Hybrid? I have the Versicolor Hybrid and it has got to be the largest flower and after three days it is turning Peach...I'll try an get a picture of it tomorrow.
Glory, this isn't a versicolor. i bought 35 or so hybrids from eric last year, split the second batch with robin. this was at her place. i had five versi types bloom last year, 2 white. i still have several of these haven't bloomed yet, so does robin. i have VPX, VPX1 and VPX2 that are versicolor types, VPX is a very large bloom that turns light peach but retains a lot of yellow. 1 & 2 are similar but i can't really remember.
Eric had several, DrD is peach, can't remember the others. i really really like kyle's pink.
