Hey everyone,

What color is the flowers on D. spatulata typical? I thought they were white, but mine are a dark pink.

Typically, the flowers are pink and you'll see listings like D.spatulata "white flower" because it's supposedly unusual. But I've got Spats from many different locations and the flowers are a mixed bag - some locations are white and some pink. For example, "Gold Coast" has white flowers and "Ahipara Gumfields" are pink.
