Thank you, Maurice.....you explained that quite well. I tend to write off a lot of unusual things as being weather related if I only see the characteristic once. Other things I see enough to know that something special is hiding out in all the genetic possibilities. For instance, I know that some day we will be seeing ruffles along the midribs of petals.....and also on the back of petals. Off center ruffles will appear along midribs that look like this
And here's a ruffle that appeared on the back of a petal.....Curt will have the last laugh on this because the only way to view them would be to have them on one of his "extreme pleats"....and I believe Curt is already seeing these backside ruffles. I hope I live long enough to see where this all ends up!!! Fun yet FRUSTRATING......because I don't have a "how to" book to follow!
