Thanks, Snowrose, that's a great link!! Maybe Begoniacrazii will add it to our sticky when she has a chance....

I appreciate the additional info about the traits too... I didn't know clackamus foliage was genetically dominant! Now I *really* want my 'Winnie the Pooh' to bloom so I can try hybridizing it with something -- anything! -- else. I love those leaves!

Critter - I have read and printed out a great article by Dr. Jeff Smith on what traits are dominant/recessive. I will try to find it again and post. I agree wholeheartedly it would be neat to try and cross your Winnie the Pooh. I really like the clackamus foliage as well. Best of luck!

Here it is...didn't have to look far -

Morning Snowrose!

Great sites...TFS!

Well we have winter here as of yesterday! Snow, cold, no sunshine! Good time to curl up with a good book.

Good morning, Joanne. Uuuh....snow already??!! Good book...good plan. I am working on plants today for a while but will go out shortly. It is a bit warmer today and nice compared to the last few days of cold and wind. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better. I'll take it. Enjoy your day....
