Thanks Sharon.  I don't have enough data to be sure, of the trend, but
some of the seeds from a few pods from my seedlings have definitely had

immensely encouraging that germination from future crosses has potential
to improve.  Once I start line-breeding or back crossing.

SPOT is nearly black in bud....not quite what I was hoping for....

And the first new IMMORTALITY seedling to show color is, big surprise,
white.  darn it all.
