Subject: D. rotundifolia and S. leucophylla IDs

Hmmm, why am I reading from so many different sources that the flowers of
certain species are supposed to be one color and then my plants bloom
another color altogether? Are there varieties of D. rotundifolia with
pink flowers? And are there varieties of S. leucophylla with translucent
lemon yellow flowers? Respectively, I've read their flowers should be
white and red. Could my plants be hybrids? Or are they varieties? BTW,
the flower on my S. leucophylla exudes a wonderfully sweet, slightly spicy
odor. And no, I'm not going to clip it. I've found that flowering often
encourages side growth, esp. Cephalotus, Drosera, & VFT--not to mention
Tillandsia. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?
