thanks Ben for the added info there. I was shown a picture of a seedling that was a cross of Shoop's Last Laugh X Prince George. It had some vivid aqua veins in the lower falls. Alas, the seedling is no longer. But it does let us know that other lineage also will produce the turquoise color. I wonder that this hasn't been followed up on or at least little mention of it by those in the trade. The good thing is we know it's not isolated to one cultivar and should be an avenue for an ambitious and 'young' hybridizer to pursue. I can just picture a blocky, well built white ground plicata with turquoise stitching and veining.
