It is not her first bloom this year. Dang it I wish she would stay this way.

Yin Yang bloom,

fluke maybe, but I find it just beautiful. That would be awesome if it stayed that way.

Rhonda Kay is one of my favs anyway.

Vickie, maybe you have a seedling in your Rhonda Kay pot!!! If so, girl friend, you've
got something unique and I don't care what who says where, I would keep it. Very
pretty and unique. Keep us posted on the next bloom. And examine your lilie, see if
you have a seedling in there!!!

Just the way a like; "different". What ever would be the reason, I would be happy to have such surprise also.

Very funky!

Wow ! I like that,Is there an explanation for such a happening?

Vickie · « **Reply #15 on:** July 06, 2010, 03:45:44 PM »

I have no idea why it is two colors. Sadly Marie there is only one lily in that pot I looked today.

Esther · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2010, 08:38:48 PM »

So is this very uncommon? Is it like my viviparous Colorado being a mutant?? Whereas mine was rather ugly but this is amazingly beautiful.

That is a fantastic bloom, and it would be wonderful if the plant would bloom that way continuously. Thankfully you have a photo of it in case it never blooms that way again. It will be a trophy photo of a prized bloom! I love it, and would to have a plant that would bloom that way consistantly. Spectacular!

Super cool

That is just gorgeous!

That is just somthing else ! It's interesting how the anthers are the same color as their petals. That makes me wonder what the seedlings from seeds from the white side compared to the purple side would be like.
And what about the pollen from each side ? Actualy I think Rhonda Kay has dead pollen. I can't remember if it makes seeds.

If it ever does that again pollinate it and if that flower makes seeds don't dead head it! Bag the pod and let them mature and send them to me !

I love Rhonda Kay and it is hardy in my ponds and I treat it just like a hardy and it comes back every year.

I have a plant that does that about once a year.

Also here is a pic of Atropurpurea doing something similar but not quite.

When I saw the Lily I thought you were learning photoshop from Louis. I have not seen anything like this before. I know some of th eblue (purple to my eye) tropicals when they are young do produce white flowers and this is very common for Blur Capensis, but in that case the whole flower is white.

Cool shot, thanks for sharing.

Vickie · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2010, 05:43:54 PM »

Mike this is about the 3rd bloom and the others were all purple or blue which ever you want to call it. And your right I did not notice the anthers are the same color. Today is the 3rd day of the bloom. I will leave the bloom and see what happens.
