Meanings
-
Of a part of a plant, of a reddish or sometimes magentaish color that blends into or seems darkened by green (e.g. from other parts of the plant).
A. orlandiana 'Ensign' is almost too lovely for words. The bright white margins are accented so wonderfully with bright red spinose teeth and rosy-red markings. The entire light green leaf center is mottled red to reddish-green, giving even more curious combinations of colors.
2015, Laurence C. Hatch, HITS: House, Interior, Tropical, and Succulent Plants:: Genera A to B:
- An impossible or nonsensical color, especially in philosophy.
