The original Jumbos were dark-colored, pink or red-pink.  Only over time did variants emerge.  The exact heritage of the C. bulbispermum Jumbos is unknown, but it may be complex because, by selfing them or crossing different seedlings, light variants began to emerge.  It was a wonderful surprise when the green-white variants emerged. 

Marcelle has said, "Each generation brings on something new in shapes, color, etc.  Mr. Les Hannibal did something great when he worked to get this group of plants on the road to improvement."
