Hi Monica,
You are right, the colors you are seeing in the flowers are due to normal genetic differences and are not chimaera.
Thanks for reading and happy gardening.

P.S. I’ve planted the previously-discussed foxtail liles and am excited for next spring… I’ve created a xeric/CO bed for them!

I’ve had a single plant (a rose campion) that has both fuchsia and white flowers, but not one flower with two colors. Does the process work similarly for the two colors of flowers on one plant, or is that something to be with cross-breeding (I had previously all-white and all-fuchsia rose campions, though not next to one another)?

Monica,
I have also seen this malady on tomatoes and peppers in years past. Usually it doesn’t look as bad as this example though.

I’ve heard about nematodes for years but never saw an example of what they can do. Thanks for sharing!

Comment on Aloe vera re-potting by Bob

Dom,
I’m not sure why your Aloe is not growing. They do need bright light and fertilizer once in a while. Go ahead and re-pot as described in this post and your plant should be fine. Keep in mind also that over-watering or under-watering can exhibit the same symptoms…weak growth, withering leaves, and others.
Best of luck to you,
Bob
