Cindy,
I think that was Larry's question. All the photos in the database indicate a pink toned bloom without exception. But the official AHS description is:
Color: deep clear yellow self with green throat
An indication the plant being distributed as 'Spode' isn't the one that was registered under that name or there was a mistake in the registration description. Isn't it the case where the hybridizer has to make a correction if it's recorded in the registration incorrectly? Or can AHS make a correction?
