Cym. Pistachio Mint 'Geyserland'

[Cym Ladye]

When the pollen cap from a cym flower is removed, the flower thinks it has been pollinated and the lip will turn pink. The flower will then die before the others on the stem. However, if the plant is an alba or concolor, ie lacking anthrocyanins or the red pigment in the flower, the lip will not turn color. Trivia for the day...

The flowers are fantastic! Good for your parents for being accommodating (or maybe they've simply resigned themselves to defeat?).
