Well at least you admit that you are biased. there ae passionate collectors
of variegated anything, and many of them owe their allegiance to a plant
from having first seen it in a variegated form.

Shortly this list will be inundated with those collectors of this wonderfu
genus who spcialize in the variegated forms.

whatver the scientists have to say, the realities are that whole
greenhouses the size of football fields are filled with vigorous and
self-reprodicng chimeras of every size and description. and to may way of
thinking the horticultural world would be a sadder and duller place without
them!

I also have a variegated cactus and succulent collection and aside from the
occasional care against sunburn, they require no additional cre.

the french dont call it "panache" for nothing.
