I Frankensteined my colony. I’ve had it almost a year and no purple ever developed anywhere but the original little slice on the tip. The new frag pic is a piece of the original frag I paid $1600 for. Huge mistake and I regret that purchase more than any I have made in this hobby. So, I cut it off and I’m gonna give that frag a chance to grow the purple. Fingers crossed, we’ll wait another year *sigh*
Man, that is a bummer. I hadn't seen the RB article about it being started with a GFP infection in a pink colony at RR. So I guess it is similar to your Pink Cadillac then, and maybe this did bring in the virus that is moving the gene around.
