Wow - let me repeat this to make sure I got this straight - amoena and
variegata are genetically the same, the difference being the yellow
ground. When I asked this earlier, I got no reply, so am a bit
surprised to 'hear' it.
Are we talking about recessive amoenas? Does that mean the variegata
pattern is recessive also?
