Okay, so this isn't an isolated phenomenon, apparently. If it's not a
jealously guarded secret, may I ask the parentage behind each of yours
& Mark's mutations? Perhaps we can get some L-ers to try to recreate
the mutation? I would be willing to try.
Perhaps we could also try to guess what other parents might produce this
mutation. For instance, does it always involve crossing two bicolors?
or a bicolor with a self? etc...
