[SG] Ventricosa Sport Question

     Good morning all:

        I have a question about a sport I recently noticed on my ventricosa
     'Aureomarginata.'  The sport is a solid gold at this point (actually
     it is a pure solid of the normal color of the mother plant's margins.
     They are halfway to their cream/white stage.)  I haven't removed the
     division from the plant as yet, but am planning on doing so this week-
     end.

        Preliminary research in Schmid's book reflects three varieties in
     the ventricosa gold group --- 'Early Dawn,' 'Fury of Flame' and 'Gold
     Flush.'  All three arose from ventricosa 'Aureomaculata,' are viri-
     descent and produce streaked second flushes.

        My questions are:  Does anyone know of any solid gold (or cream,
     yellow or chartreuse) sports arising from 'Aureomarginata'?  If so,
     what information do you have on them?  Should I separate the division
     now or should I wait a while?

        Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help!
