As I am looking up pictures to identify plants and am finding some problems. The avsa sights pictures of some optimira plants are not the same at the optimira identification site. Are any of you finding the same problem?

Plant Identification
Somtimes Optimata named their plants more than once. . Like Optimara Missippissp . There is an Optimara Missippissp !! .
I think it was after 2003 they stoped naming them or most of them. Lot's times they have a plant another on Optimara Ontario there is a !! of that one and I think even one not registered. Lot's of people complain about this and why they did it ? There are also two Optimara Hopie's one is fantasy one is not. There two Florida's also . It's crazy a lot of people would say. Allison
I e-mailed Optimira and they very promptly replied. I was very surprised thinking they could care less about the individual because they sell only to stores.
They are trying to help me identify my white double 1 inch mini. Chalk one up for Optimira.

Hi Nanna,
Oh it's a mini in one inch pot ? Double white ? I was looking at the wrong plant or thought it looked larger. How cute where did you get it ?
I fount a Single-Semidouble white Optimara in FC a miniature named
Optimara Little Pearl. I hope they can find the name for you !!! That's great , Allison
Optimara Little Pearl
Optimira's information says that Little Pearl is light pink. This one is definitely pure white.
I'm wondering if it was originally a by-color and perhaps lost it's edge. I have sent another e-mail to optimira for follow-up.

I know Optimara's web sight pictures and descriptions even though they register them with these description them selves ?? are most of the time different. I did a search on Optimara anc could not find a Minature with a doulbe white or semi-double ??
So I did a search on First Class for Optimara Minatures with white flowers and this is what came up. The pictures above is from FC for Optimara little Pearl.
Then is says Optimare Little Pearl
reg. 6956 11/19/1988 Miniature
Single-semidouble blush white. Medium green , heart-shaped to ovate, pointed, hairy, glossy.
I have seen many plants with blus - white .... be white white. Many times Semidouble flowers look like doubles.
I could notfind an Optimara Minature close with white flowers other than this one that looks some what like yours. Enviromant always makes a difference. I have many, many white flowering plants that bloom white and green , and a plant that is supost to be white and purple edge blooming White and green, splashes of purple thought the first two times it bloomed they were right clors. lol
You right your plant might have changed colore.
Have you sent the a picture ? I can't wait to see what they say !

Allison,
Thank you for taking the time to search. You are a dear friend. I questioned the name Little Pearl as being pink. Most pearls are white. With your searching and mine I think Little Pearl is the identity of this plant. As long as I label it "like" Little Pearl there will be no problem.
Thanks again, Allison.
