Does anyone who has the Sobe Watermelon in their chalice collection notice any of the red and blue coloration develope around the eyes and base? If you have ever seen Donovans pictures of the Sobe mother colony, those colors are clearly present. I have a piece about the size of a 50cent piece with about 15+ eyes on it but the coloration is more of a grape watermelon, with no blue or red. I am assuming once the piece grows larger these colors will start to appear, much in the same way as the ECC Hybrid does, that it doesn't start to show it's true potential until it hits a certain size. Just curious if anybody else is experiencing this same thing. Right now it's not that special of a piece, but if, and when the blue and red appear it will be a true stunner!
