I don't know Roy (well not that I know of anyway)

That was my first question to him.  A good percentage of the seeds throws
true.  That was what I meant in the original email when I talked about it
being at least partially stable.  He said that he has scattered the seed
around and got numerous variegated seedlings appear, so it would appear
that it wasn't a virus as I am fairly sure that viruses are not generally
transmitted via seed.

Certainly sounds interesting doesn't it!!?

Thanks for the response.


Cheers.
