JungleShadows said:'Just plain Crazy' started out as a very erratic plant. it was the only seedling i ever obtained from 'Minto's seedling' so I'm betting that plant was probably of mixed ploidy. Some plants of 'Just plain Crazy' continue the erratic condition, whereas others are more normal tufted types.
