Robert and/or Dell,

Do we know if there is any chance that the variegation will be inherited in
the seedlings?  Does anyone else grow this and know whether any variegated
seedlings are likely to appear?  I know that with some variegated plant
variegated progeny often appear in seedlings while in others the chances
are pretty much zero.  I have heaps of seedlings of D. grandiflora and
don't really need more <grin> but would be interested in seed if there is
any real chance of getting variegation in the seedlings.

Does anyone know what the chances are?

Cheers.
