After taking the pic and looking at it, I thought there were aphids on the dorsal ! It's just rough feeling !

Very pretty bloom, Gilda. I wonder what caused the
roughness on the dorsal. I've never seen that before.

 

[Gilda]

No detectable fragrance...

Angela, I'm just lucky I guess. :wink: This is a new aquistion.. We'll see if other blooms are rough , too.

Lovely bloom and flower congrats.
I have the same rough look on the dorsal of my phrag wossen when it arrived, I just chalked it up to being transported as the spike was forming but found over the flowering it seemed some flowers had it yet otherson the same spike did not.

Thanks.. maybe someone on here has an explanation! Hopefully with our great culture, it will disappear :wink:

I'll keep on eye on wossen and when it flowers again I'll have to see what happens, it Might be a DNA or chromozone fluff up. I have seem it before on the odd hybrid and it never happen again. Yet there are so many possibilities
