But how do we know which ones have left the genes behind?  Is there  some way 
we can look at an iris and tell that it will or won't pass on a lurking  
plicata gene?  Or that is even has the lurking gene?  Or do we need to  take the 
time and space to cross them all to plicatas?  Just to  check?  
 
My personal preferences run to domed standards, clean colors and clean  hafts 
. . . little or no veins.  Love zonals without veins!   Especially the 
red/yellow ones.  <vbg>
