...as to what accounts for the purple veining in this unfurling 'Dream Queen'?

Depends on your idea of cooler I suppose, Jamie. Since it started to poke its nose up we have had a couple of nights near freezing, but our daytime temperatures have not gone much above 12C, just below 50F...You've seen this happen as a temperature related thing, I take it? Specifically cooling off at night near freezing?
