Re: Re: strange brew with Being Busy Chimera

Betty,
These are quite common around here, we see several a
year.
I'd always been told it is a somatic mutation or some
sort of mutation of the pigment. I find it hard to
believe that it occurred during formation of the seed,
just after fertilization since these are a common
occurance among seedlings.
I chalk it up to an unstable gene.
I doubt that Paul's flower will repeat this again, or
at least to this degree.
