Do you see it?

'Gene Boerner' is medium pink. Do you see the color sport?

Fun!

I've had another color sport in the garden, an orange and white version of the normally raspberry and white 'Gardens Of The World'. I rooted that one and it has been stable. Fun to see sports--it's just a matter of time, isn't it? If you wait, (and wait...) they will appear.

Sports are an interesting phenomenon! On a couple of occasions I've thought I had one, but those proved to be fleeting. Weather-related occurances, I suppose.

Vintage lists 'White Gene Boerner' which they describe as blush pink, fading, but not quite to white. Yours, however appears to be very white. Was it that white when it began to open? On HMF, the photos of the plants grown under glass look pale pink. Beth's photos, however, don't.

The WGB in commerce originated in Japan. Congratulations on your domestic discovery!

Congradulations, lucky you - if you do not have a power station or nuclear reactor next door. If you do, the "canary" is telling you to move quick. :<)

I thought not, because the plant has RMV. :(
