I always find it weird how rare purple was back in the day, and now everyone is miraculously finding purple versions of every line on the planet. I know any plants can lean towards anthocyanins instead of carotenoids, but purely through natural selection on such a large scale?
Before the year 2000, how often would you all say you seen purple buds, as a ratio to green or a percentage of the total?
- More often Purple than Green
- Green and Purple at the same rate
- More often Green than Purple
- Never seen Purple before ‘00

Why wouldn’t people have been choosing purple plants all along? Surely it would have been more prevalent than it used to be, if all of these landrace genetics had the tendency to produce it.
