Wow, very very cool! Do you think the blue flammea is something that can occur in nature or is it a product of years of hard work with domestic plants? Just curious! Thanks!

The very original flamea caerulea that was named 'Minha Gilda' (from which my plant is daughter) appeared in the middle of the plants of a regular caerulea sow, Steve. I don't believe such a degree of mutation could easily occur in nature. I don't say that it is impossible, but improbable. |
