Hey Steve, that sounds like a great name!

I've been thinking about this topic today and remembered another tip. Ra Hansen, via Dan Hansen, said that it's better to have an ugly face on a great plant that a pretty face on a plant with no vigor, weak scapes, etc. Breeding for a pretty face is much easier than breeding for great plant habit.
