i agree Becky the best idea is to cross or self selected blooms and keep on selecting by eye... especially as i've recently been reading about horizontal transfer of what could loosely be called genetic elements... through grafting and pollen transmission etc. as well as activating presently inactive transposable elements and/or causing transposable elements to move positions along the genome by stressing plants with various mutagens or even just different growing conditions... it gets too weird even for me!!

it's no wonder that so many different things change in MG blooms... it's just wonderous :-)

my post are my excited ramblings about what makes me tick about MGs, my thoughts and ideas and are not meant to imply any need for others to do the same... so i can only reiterate what Becky says above.... don't take it too seriously, just enjoy whatever you do :-) but don't be afraid of indulging your whims if you get them... 'cos you never know and why not?
