Hi Donna, so sorry I did not answer you. Sometimes I am not all here! LOL

If they do well next year I will register them with ABADS. It is the official registry and I want to support them. I love their site, I am always using it for research on brugs.

A sport is .... LOL. See now I going to run outside to take a picture of one for you!

OK back!! I got sidetracked. I just noticed Big Yella must have well over a thousand buds on her. I tried to get a pic but it is too dark for my camera. Anyway, here is a sport on Maya. It is a growth that is different from the rest of the plant. In this example, it will go no where for it has no chlorophyll to survive in its own. But many times, a whole new unusual plant is made and they are very exciting to find! New coleus are often started from sports.
