Re: [Aroid-l] Aglaonema with yellow flowers

From: The Silent Seed <tylus.seklos at gmail.com> on 2019.10.30 at 12:50:28(24273) Cool, Russ, thank you for sharing. I was really surprised when I saw the flowers. This one also happens to be my fastest growing Aglaonema. On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 6:29 PM Russ wrote: Here are pics. I backed inflorescence with white paper for comparison, it's definitely a yellowish color. Russ HTML +More On Tuesday, October 29, 2019, 10:28:40 AM EDT, The Silent Seed wrote: Sounds good, Russ!

The yellow doesn't come through very well on the camera with the lighting, but they are more of a creamy yellow than white.

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. _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l -- The Silent Seed Rare and Unusual plants from around the world. thesilentseed.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l -- The Silent Seed Rare and Unusual plants from around the world. thesilentseed.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l -- The Silent Seed Rare and Unusual plants from around the world. thesilentseed.com --000000000000932b7c0596202f0b-- --000000000000932b7e0596202f0c
