I do think that sales would be highly dependent on what is popular now. But I don't know how much affect popularity has to do with developing a quirk, or hint of something new and dramatic or if it is more the vision of the hybridizer to see what that could possibly be developed into, although all to often it may lead to nowhere. I am afraid I would have seen cristate appendages appear on a seedling and tried to bread that "fault" out of it.
