Charlie has had problems with propagating Zypher. Apparently the TC
people lost all the plants he sent them and he only has a few fans of
it now.
Actually, Zypher is not a landscape plant. This is strickly a
hybridizers plant. It's not at all an impresssive plant. Without a
label you will walk right past it and never know it and you really
have to look carefully to see the variegation. However, it produces
some magnificent variegated seedlings, and in turn its variegated
seedlings produce more variegated seedlings.
I'll have to talk to Charlie about BAPing it for him.
