Pat,
That information is incorrect. I made reciprocal crosses between GNU'S
FLASH (broken color) and TENNESSEE WOMAN (plicata) several years ago and
got nearly equal proportions of broken color seedlings (1/4) crossing both
ways.
Looking at the pedigrees of some of Brad Kasperek's broken color intros,
TIGER HONEY, GNUS FLASH, SAHARAN SUN, and SPICED TIGER all came from
plicata pod parents.
