Re: Stabilizing Sports--Help us Lu Treadway.
Hi Mr H.
My info unfortunately came from all and sundry without any censoring unless
I knew something was definitely wrong, or an expert did.
It is now based in my wonderful pocket Psion and
if a plant has a cream margin as does H. Variegated (in the UK) then "CM" is
all it gets by way of data. (after all there are 4187 entries!). I am very
happy to post to you all such scribblings if you feel they might help. By
the way my data is PZ..........pre Zilis!
Regards
Tim OTP (watching your seedlings with interest)
