Hi Jim and All,

I was rereading some of the posts on variegation, and I wanted to ask if the 
paragraph above might also apply to Gosan Gold Mist? Are there other 
cell/plastid arrangements working to create the yellow on green pattern of 
the leaf?  

There is no clear differentiation between the L1 and L2 layers on G. Gold 
Mist as in Snow Flurry. I am very new to this so any insight to this very 
unique form of variegation would be appreciated.
