A question for VICKIE

[karen J]

I was reading the topic about pitcher plants, and noticed your signature picture. I was wondering if you had a larger picture of that lily? I had something similar happen to one of mine:



I was also wondering if it was the same cultivar, and how often that happened to yours?

Wow Karen That is awsome thanks for posting that. Mine is Rhonda Kay. Ken landon said he has never seen that before on Rhonda Kay, it is his lily

Here is a larger pic

Wow, great pics! They look very similar, don't they? Mine was a wrongly-named ebay purchase from a few years ago, it could very well have been a mis-named Rhonda Kay that was sold as Robert Strawn.
Notice how the tips of the anthers are also albino as well as the petals?

I wonder if it could be a genetic mutation OR physical damage in the early bud stage, like from snails or whatever. Either way, I wish it would happen more because it's really cool.

Mine was only one bloom and the rest were normal. How about yours?

I think I had two or three that were like that, happening at the same time but then nothing after that.
