Well, then I guess the "propagate by crown suckers" holds true for foliage chimeras also! Odd, since you'd think both genetic types would have to be present in the bicolor leaf. Hmm. Isn't there also a way of propagating chimeras from flower stalks... that thing where you treat the flower stalk with some sort of chemical to make it produce a sucker... I have a vague recollection of that method working for chimeras... crown cuttings and crown suckers sound more certain, although doing a crown-ectomy is a bold move when you have a $$ plant like some of those can be!

OK, you've all been waiting so patiently for today's call, you've been such perfect angels... :-)
