Rlc. Memoria Helen Brown and Rlc. Brunswick Gem 'Coral'

[SouthPark]

These pics were fairly recently taken - the chartreuse (greeny-yellow) coloured flower is a Rlc. Memoria Helen Brown, and the other purply/pink one is Rlc. Brunswick Gem 'Coral'. Both still in flower/bloom at the moment. Had some heavy rain recently that blew the water onto the flowers. No bad effect on them though. They dry out fairly quickly.

A comparison pic - for Rlc. Memoria Helen Brown ---- taken from a previous flowering last year - when the bud(s) developed without full sun blazing down on (and possibly warming up) the buds every day. More pink colour in the lip from the last flowering - bubble gum!!! So - maybe - cooler buds - more colour for cases like this.

Cooler weather and nights slow metabolism and congregates colouring in the anthocyanins more. So it’s true.

Thanks for letting us know about that DLE! And also for mentioning anthocyanins ----- I got to look into this and get some education in that area! Much appreciated!
