    I sent alice harris this thread link,she said "that happens" and she has one that gone completely dark.
    Also she said this..
    Spectacular when it blooms red and yellow .. not just all red as usual. I had it a long time ago. Now finally again, it sported from the var. cleo and has remained stable
