Dear Marieke, Thank you for your help. I am looking for yellow and white of Z. aethiopica or would be interested in any species with white and yellow forms. Or yellow and white hybrids with similar parentage or derived from siblings. Do you or anyone know of such examples? Thank you very much for your input.
