Yes, but here is my question - Do I now have the original Elegans that
Great Expectations sported from? If by some chance I could get a
plant of THE original plant, would that plant and my plant be the
same. What's the difference if someone that propagated THE original
Elegans and I had a copy of that plant via asexual propagation and
someone propagated GE and then along the line the L2 layer, the
mutated layer, was replaced by the original genome to give back an
Elegans plant.
