Floral pigments in Hydrangea are affected by the presence of aluminum ions in the soil, causing changes in flower color from red, pink, blue, light purple or dark purple. [ 4 ] There has been one non-chemical example found within Caesalpinioideae , a single sub-family of Fabaceae where the folding of petals cause changes to the color patterns ...
This disease affects strawberry plant foliage causing purple spots ⅛ to ¼ inches across on the upper side of the leaves. [3] At first, the whole spot is purple but as the disease matures the center of the leaf spots on older leaves become tan or gray, then almost white. Lesions on younger leaves remain light brown. [4] When numerous spots ...
Variegation is the appearance of differently coloured zones in the foliage, flowers, and sometimes the stems and fruit of plants, granting a speckled, striped, or patchy appearance.

Food plants rich in anthocyanins include the blueberry, raspberry, black rice, and black soybean, among many others that are red, blue, purple, or black. Some of the colors of autumn leaves are derived from anthocyanins. [1] [2] Anthocyanins belong to a parent class of molecules called flavonoids synthesized via the phenylpropanoid pathway.
The spathe can be up to 25 cm high and the fruiting spike which follows later in the season may be up to 5 cm. [5] The flowers are hidden from sight, clustered at the base of the spadix with a ring of female flowers at the bottom and a ring of male flowers above them. The leaves may be either purple-spotted (var. maculatum) or unspotted (var ...
You may want to relocate it to a spot where you can see its blooms, but doing so could expose the plant to a draft or too much sunlight. Either will make the orchid drop its flowers.
Angular Leaf Spot is currently an issue in strawberry nursery production, leading to problems in transporting strawberry plants throughout the U.S and over to Europe. [5] Xanthomonas fragariae is not only an issue transporting young plants, but infected fruits can lead to a symptom known as “black cap” that can reduce the quality and ...
