A great discussion, Maurice! Always an education when you post!

I would really like to know more about bloom colors, ruffle/teeth, patterning, eye size, etc. and how those genes can be passed to it's children. I haven't done enough crossing to figure all that out. Is there an article already written in layman terms that I could read? Or could you do us the honor of delving into that aspect of the genetic pool?

I often wonder how growers can cull plants the very first year, when those very plants might improve with successive years? How do the growers KNOW what to cull and what not to cull?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
