CORRECTION: The plicata genes would be "pl plu pla pla", that is, one
regular plicata gene, one luminata gene and two glaciata genes. When
crossed to a glaciata such as Eramosa Snowball, would produce 1/2
narrow rimmed plicatas and 1/2 stripped type plicatas. At times it
would not be especially clear which is which.
The ring would be passed on to 1/4 of the offspring. Assuming ring
factor is only from one parent.

CORRECTION:1/4 regular SDB plicatas, 1/2 fancy plicatas and 1/4
luminatas
