Re: [Aroid-l] Aglaonema with yellow flowers

From: Jason Hernandez <jason.hernandez74 at yahoo.com> on 2019.10.24 at 19:11:09(24257) That is worth noting. I just did a Google image search for Aglaonema Chocolate, and none of the pictures had flowers. Which means that I don't know if yellow is typical of this cultivar or not. It might be worth investigating the nature of the pigment in the leaves that creates the chocolate color: in plants, proanthocyanidin creates the brown, beige, or tan colors; whereas yellow is either carotenoid or a flavonoid. Are these flowers a clear yellow, or is it more of a brownish yellow? The latter would suggest that the leaf pigment is also in the flowers; the former would suggest a different explanation.

It's too bad that almost nobody is on here any longer. I wonder why. Speaking along the lines of flowers, I noticed my Aglaonema "Chocolate" are flowering and the flowers are yellow. What a surprise that was. Nice change from the usual white. ------=_Part_1724149_160492265.1571944269718-- --==============W90741251479738633==
