	Jeff, this description reminds me of some of the strange 
seedlings, Mike Sutton has on his web page.  One of Mike's 
seedlings involves SUKY  and my own WHITE REPRISE, which 
does not have any immediate plic genes.  SUKY may.

   Yes, the NE and UT broken colors have plics in the background.
  
  BROKEN DREAMS, '99, doesn't have plics in the background as 
far as I can tell.

  There are others, but I cannot think of them right now.  CANDY 
CANE does not have plics in the background, and MAKE BELIEVE 
is far removed with just a diluted dose of plic genes from SAN 
FRANCISCO.
