Would love to hear more, and gives me time to do some more chapter and background reading before getting in to the next book topic.
Thanks for the three lenses you provided around what epigenetics refers to - I'm sure I may not be the only one who is still working on wrapping my head around it, and any help in definition or examples is awesome. I'm thinking we are talking about structures or processes in daylilies (and possibly other color-patterned organisms) that have some natural control over how patterns and color changes appear? That some physical or chemical system is at work responding to signals and producing color changes in the petals? Is so, how do we get from the self species, to "dot" hybrids (early nomenclature for "eyes"), and edges, midribs, and so on? And, do we have some idea of how to mix and match pod and pollen parents so that we can try to get desired, or never before seen, results?
My eyes feel hungry for a visual progression through this color-changing process, and my head feels a bit a-spin with new hints about it - in the nicest of ways.
