Our large stand of chloropetalum ranges from very white to rich purple. It is next to a stand of T. albidum which is all white. They are almost identical except for the anther filaments: white in albidum and pink to purple in chloropetalum Paul Licht, Director University of California Botanical Garden 200 Centennial Drive Berkeley, CA 94720 http://botanicalgarden.berkeley.edu/ On 3/19/2013 5:03 PM, aaron floden wrote: > Jane, > > Which treatment takes this approach?
