When the flower opens, the veining covers the entire fall in typical arilbred pattern. Then it fades so that only the markings around the rim remain and it looks like the plicata pattern found in TBs. This picture, which was taken in the late afternoon of the first day the flower was open, catches the veining just before the center of the falls fade to white. A clump, with flowers of both types, leaves garden visitors either speechless or full of questions.
