Dtps Taiwan Red Cat 'Red Cat' take 2: smears on sepals
Hi!
Carter and Holmes sent me two Red Cats to replace the one that did not have the splash pattern (gotta update that thread, wow!)
Both of the new Cats have buds, and the #3 Cat's buds are pretty good size. Examining those buds carefully, I'm seeing a faint greenish-cream smear on the sepals that extends from the base of the sepal at least 2/3rds of the way up the sepals. The previous plant's buds did NOT have that marking.
I've tried to get a photo of the smear but I don't have a camera that can focus on it. As the bud grows I'll keep trying to get a shot of it.
I'm thinking that the smear may be the initial hint that the blooms will have the Red Cat splash pattern. We'll find out!
The #2 Red Cat's buds are still pretty small and aren't showing any smear yet.
The wait begins again. . ..
