Don't want to discourage you here, but you need
to look at all the sports that exist from that plant already to see if you
think anything new could ever come out. You can if you want to go thet
far, use one of two methods. By "Bud Isolation" you can cut around the
bud formed near the best leaf ( for what you want to "create") thet will be
just the first step in a long procedure. Tou have to do that on
successive plants, until you have the right one. You can do this process
faster if you spend the $ on having a limited number of Tc plants done form
the "sport" and from those you can frequently choose one that is what you are
looking for.

Hi Jim,
Do you have a
picture, or if not can you describe it. Some types probably cannot be
stabilized.

I have been trying to stabilize a
beautiful variegated sport of Hyacinthina
by division. I have been
working on it for 3 years now any suggestion as to
how to "fix
it"..........................
