Garet Uemura in Hawaii was wonderful to share some of his hybrids with me last year. Here is one. I was pleased to notice this evening that the newest bloom was open even after all of my other tropicals blooming today were closed. The pads start out mottled & then change to a green as they mature. The older bloom is a paler blue but still has nice color (the camera didn't pick up the right color). Hoku Kea is another hybrid of his & there is a bud that should open tomorrow.
