Narcissus with Striped Leaves

Dear Barna,

I have seen virus infected daffodlis, and this looks different. Sometimes
there is an error in plastids and it losts the chlorophyll or the cell
loses the entire plastid. This usually goes un-noticed unless the error
happens at the meristem. When bleached and normal tissues grow together it
is called a chimera. On the second picture you can see that the 3rd leaf
has 3 white stirpes, the middle one has a few green isles in it. There are
also normal green leaves. Wait a few years, if you're lucky you may be albe
to stabilize the chmiera, and you may end up with a variegated salome. You
may also lose the chimera, the tissues separate and you may have a totally
albino plant and normal green ones.

Keep us posted from the results!

Regards,
Janos
