Nor her fair hued children. I might put JURASSIC PARK in with the
variegatas because of the darkness of the falls but as EDITH WOLFORD
grows here, I would not consider her as a candidate for the variegata
category. Edith's child STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN has pale yellowish
standards on opening but fade to cream with the falls being like
Edith's. Here STH wouldn't be a variegata either. Perhaps, soil does
have something to do with classification.
