Sabrina, my Spanish Glow has lots of diamond dusting, which is why I thought I'd give it a try, just to see what happens. It kind of glows all on its own though, from a distance. I've always wondered if that is how it got the name, or if it was because of the diamond dust. It maybe be something totally different though!

Judy, I'm looking for diamond dusting. Waxen is a good word for what I think as shimmery. It's not sparkly, really. It's just shimmery, and the blooms do look a little like wax to me. It's another thing I really like, if there is an absence of diamond dusting, but it's not really what I hope to achieve on the seedling.

Polymerous, I've heard the same thing about clear pinks and near whites. For some weird reason, I thought I heard orange once, but maybe that was a nightmare. Hilarious!

I'm not trying to clarify the color at all. As far as I'm concerned, the color is perfect. I see no mud, or anything cloudy, and it is just enough different that I am not sure what I'd even call it at this point. I just want it to sparkle if possible!
