Hi there ping growers,
Any one have P. 'Pirouette' with veining on its petals like this?
I started this as a leaf pulling, but failed to put a tag in the pot. (Oh, I'll remember. Yeah right!)I'm 80+% sure that it is a Pirouette.
As I said, this was a leaf pulling, so I have a tagged Pirouette to compare this to. But I haven't seen as distinct veining on those flowers - which should be the same plant. Here's the plant in a pot with a tag in it (taken in June a few years ago):
And a picture from last September - plant in the shade, so bloom looks a little more lavender, but I recall it being pink and a little veining visible, but not as pronounced:
Now - I KNOW that pings can show color and shape morphs in their blooms depending on growing conditions. So, maybe that's what is going on. I haven't yet had both plants in bloom at the same time, so am wondering if any one has seen their Pirouette resemble my first pic up there...
