Hi Kathy,
I put that in there just for you. :-) We have CANADIAN STREAKER and I love
the foilage too. We had two seedlings this year with variegated foliage.
Both came from the same cross of AUTUMN TRYST X COLORWATCH. I didn't look
back too far but I don't think there is any Pallida in the background
either. One of the plants bloomed with a variegated flower. I guess if you
keep pushing the breeding new things will keep popping up now and then.
Maybe we will get a red sooner or later.

That's why rebloomers are so nice!
