Re: Re: frank adams, was: HYB: tttt - more questions

All this talk of Frank Adams got me to looking for pic on the web.  I 
found this page on Accent (ExtravaganzaX Frank Adams)  Buss 1952.  
 Here's a link to the page:
 http://perso.club-internet.fr/clni2bar/iris/accent.htm
It's a French site, this page is in Engligh though.  Great resolution. Is 
malvidin  possibly from variegata?
Just a thought...
