Donald,
A fascinating bit of information as always. SCARLET BUTERFLY looks to
me as if it has more Aril genes than they clain. Crossing BUTTERFLY
WINGS, which is a 1/8th bred x a half bred could still yeild seedlings
that look less Aril than SCARLET BUTTERFLY. This is why I'm wondering if
the pollen parent could really be a TB. Is SCARLET BUTTERFLY pod fertile
?
Which nursry sells this one ? Looks like a must have to me.
