Snow corns you can never tell!

[benjamina]

I have seen this snow corn that is about a year old, it's blotches are greenish. However, along the neck the green blotches have a nice rich pink in the middle (like pink blotches with green borders), but the pink coloring in the blotches only extends to about six or seven inches along the neck. The rest of the blotches are just greenish without the pink. There are also rich yellow-orangy bars along the sides of the neck which seem to extend to about half-way along the body.

Since this snow is only about a year old, will the rest of the blotches develop pink in the middle?

I was assuming snows took about 2 to 3 years to develop their true blotch coloration and since it was only a year old I assumed the coloration would continue to develop for some time.

Will it stay this way or will the colors get better? I was assuming that the richer the yellow-orange along the neck the more pink it would develop, as most of the snows I've seen with the rich yellow-orange bars also had nice rich pink blotch tones and tended to have a whiter ground color.

Just wondering.
Cheereos,

Most likely all the colors will become reduced with age. IMHO

Do the colors reduce with age??? my 2 snow corns seem to be gaining alot of yellow (which is expected) and the pink saddles are starting to become more robust (probably because the high yellow colors that are bordering the saddles) I guess when the Yellow borders the saddles and the Yellow becomes brighter then the pinkish saddles will naturally become more visible... Hope I didnt confuse anyone with that...

Yes,
but what Tim meant was getting a lot older than 2 years old.....
the frist few years of a corn's life they tend to me a bit more brighter and more colorful....once they turn to a bit older, then it's colors will fade a bit and more dullish..
