Bill ,
I really like growing these monsters because they stimulate thought.    were constantly trying to understand things that might teach us How to grow them better.   That challenge never seems to end.  And thats great!!  I also think that the giving and sharing of info  and seed has really taken us to new heights fast.

The cloning project was awesome definetly new territory.  But is it really, most the plants you buy at nurserys are cuttings...........and this practice has been going on for a while....But the word "cloning"  makes us nervous so" proprogated cuttings" we accept

....I am not sure we can compare the kingdoms with hearts verses those with roots.   but I use that comparison all the time because it might help bridge some understanding ...but maybe not.....could be dead wrong.......but thats all I know to do.

Basically its like grafting  a pollinator to a tree that wakes up in the spring except that--thats a hell uv alot easier....annuals are a bit rough.... keeping a AG plant cutting alive is work..........so if you want to fine tune or keep what works well its a hard way to go but make sense.

I dont think there is too much digression from plant inbreeding but there is always a plus to add a strong participant.........
