But the 'Tete a Tete' that is most widely distributed (e.g. sold, in flower, in groceries) is still the virused form. A sort of vegetative Typhoid Mary, it sounds like, and just as badly needing to be kept in strict quarantine. Does anyone know where 'Tete a Tete' is commercially cultivated? In Holland, or elsewhere? (Just as many "Dutch" tulips are actually grown outside Mt. Vernon, Washington.) Links: Typhoid Mary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid_Mary/ Mt.
