The indigo rose was harvested a couple weeks ago so it will be interesting to see if any more antho shoulders show up without antho pollen, as you suggest is normal.

It does vary by temperature, intensity of light, and presumably other environmental factors which can impact one fruit differently than others on the same plant. The fruit skin tissue is 100% from the parent plant. The seeds in the fruit are where the genetic contamination can be.
