Hi Judy
I saw this on the SRGC a week ago.

I wonder if you can call this evolution driven by the ability of the human eye to discern colors from a distance.

An interesting article in today's NY Times about color variation in 
Fritillaria delavayi

which presumably arose because it is collected for traditional medicine. 
The yellow flowered ones are easy to notice and collect, those with dull 
colored flowers are less conspicuous.

Judy in New Jersey where winter temperatures have decided that it is
