It actually did happen to me once before. Only a few weeks after I received my original frag from Sonny at Pro Corals nearly six years ago now did I see an unmistakable tone of blue in the tips of my growing frag. At the time it wasn't really that unexpected, as I knew there was blue in this one, but Sonny's amazing pic had only shown a gleaning blue rim. Cool enough for me. I was in.
The blue looked amazing, but seemed more like fluke. Kind of a transitional anomaly I figured. Sonny himself had even assured me that if I'm seeing blue in the tips, then either something awful, or something wonderful was happening. Still not sure of the answer to that one. The magical blue I had harnessed was fleeting.
And as the blue in those tips eventually faded to the solid red we are all familiar with now, the event became a memory. It was a blue I'd covet. I had seen it with my own eyes. I knew it was in there somewhere, but in time I would forget about it entirely and the chase for the desirable tips died swiftly.
Until now.
And maybe its just another fluke. I honestly can't tell you how I've managed to pull the blue out this time. In fact, I have five other colonies of the rainbow in same system that aren't doing this right now. But it's undeniably happening to this one, and I was not going to let the opportunity to finally document it escape me this time.
So here it is. After six plus years in my system, I am seeing blue in the tips in my PC rainbow once again, and I can't get enough of it. Looks absolutely amazing to me.
So, I'm really just extremely curious now. Is this a super fluke? Am I the only one? I would love to see some other PC's with the unmistakable blue apparent. Rims or tips. I mean it's kind of an oldie now, but mine's never looked better than it does right now.
Finally deserved of its "rainbow" title, here is my colony having returned to the short lived glory of that short window six years ago.
