Linda -- Just saw this question.  The answer is no.  TRUDY, for 
instance, a recessive amoena, does not have the rim.  The 
distinguishing characteristic of the recessive amoenas, at least as I 
see it, is the absolute whiteness of the standards, and usually of 
heavy substance.  I would describe the difference in substance as 
that between paper (dominants) and parchment (recessives).  --  Griff
