So there can be a wide range in the amount of white in the background of a plicata. I wonder if there is another modifying gene that controls the amount of white exhibited? Then what do you call those like Tuscan Summer, that has the yellow background. Is it also a plicata, or is there another name for these? If plicata is a true recessive gene, then you would always get one if you crossed two of them together. The more I learn, the less I know.
