Not album - it ain't all white (see Gruß or Braem). But albino form - i.e. no anthocyanin!'album' form?

Oh yes, I posted it in another thread.Hi Istvan, you have not posted a photo of an open flower, or is it in another thread. Don't tell me it did not make it I sure hope that isn't the case. Looks so nice and intresting.
Albinism/albino in plants mean lacking chlorophylls. Regarding the flower itself, I wonder if some people use different terms to describe the same phenomenon? I ask because it gets confusing.Not album - it ain't all white (see Gruß or Braem). But albino form - i.e. no anthocyanin!
Albino plants lack anthocyanin (red pigment), which not only provides red colouring, but also contributes to black spots, stripes, etc. Albino plants can have colouring from carotinoid (contributing to yellow/yellowish colouring) and/or chlorophyll (contributing to green/greenish colouring).Albinism/albino in plants mean lacking chlorophylls.

By the way, album micranthum flowers are rarely pure white but with greenish yellow on the petals as well as on the dorsal sepal.
Does anyone know if it's carotinoid alone or a combination of carotinoid and chlorophylls responsible for the color on the album form of the species?
