and then there was this outrageous coral red peony I bought from cheap
garden center
in small pot with single flower. planted it and wonder of wonders it
bloomed the
next year..... PINK. I HATE PINK... however, this pink was Monet pink so
I didnt rip
it out. http://puregold.aquaria.net/landscape/bkyd/mvc-024f.jpg
I think the composition of the soil affects flower color as well. Ingrid


Yes, yes it does ...I know for sure that playing with NO3 and K ratios
brings out different colours in the leaves. Potassium (K) will bring out
nice reds in red foliage plants while Nitrates will bring out the greens.
Obvious really but I'm sure this would affect flower colour aswell. I'll get
back to you on that! Plants interest me immensely!
