>Usually totally green bulbs are a good indicator of yellow/green flowers Dear Jonathan, Jude and all, I think it is fairly safe to say that seedlings that show no hint of red pigments (especially those that normally have red foliage or flowers) will not have red flowers. I have seen this often in a variety of seedlings and other plants. Sometimes there may be just the slightest hint of pink or brown (where the red pigments mix with chlorophyll) in the seedling or spring new growth to indicate pink, or red flowers. The same species with absolutely no pink or brown will often (always?) have white or yellow flowers. Missing pink/red colors in seedlings or new growth seems to correlate with white or yellow flowers. Any thoughts ? Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
