Pink convallaria is still very much with us and fairly readily
available. However, it's something of a disappointment. The plant is
smaller than the white forms, and the color is a slightly dull, dusty
rose-pink, not a nice clear pink as you might imagine.

Myself, I'd like to go zipping back to the beginning of the Cambrian
and watch the critters found in the Burgess shales.

Does anyone know what, if any, proposals have been made to put this
into a distinct species?
