I started this plant last year from seeds. All of the blooms so far have had the purple outline around white petals. Then, I get this solid one.
look at this
Wow, that's a beautiful plant! And an interesting surprise in the solid flower. :) Is the picture true to color? It looks so blue. Great AV you've got growing!
No, the color is actually more purple. I don't know why it looks so blue.
That is a lovely violet! Did you know that you can officially name & register a variety you've grown from seed? I think it has to "come true" through 3 generations of leaf propagation... there's probably info on the AVSA web site.
My camera tends to register purple colors as that kind of blue tone as well. Even when I try to crank the image through my photo software and mess with the color balance, I can never get purples to come out quite right. That's why my photos often have some sort of note about the "real" color of the bloom!
wow how beautiful. Congrats
Congrats on your new baby!
That is a stunning photo and I just love the surprise of different blooms on the same plant.
Good for you!
