Green and white
First time i've seen this green and white bicolor combination.
where can i get one?

myriad of colour forms
where I used to live there were a myriad of colour forms to be found Ian.
The best ones I have seen vary greatly from opening to the time they are fully coloured up. Then they fade away again as the flowers wither.
Sorry Henry....I have not seen them for sale recently.
