| I found a pic of an exceptionally well grown "White Madonna" - at Steve Reed's site. I would say that in 1953 people probably were killing one another to get White! Girl Foliage!! Double!!!! WOW!!!! plant. Now it probably would never even be registered - the stems are very weak and in IMHO it is not that attractive of a plant. But in its own time it was a break through and probably was used in hybridization many times contributing to the many masterpieces of later days. And for a girl foliage - it grows pretty symmetrically. On the other side - looking at the photo - really good grower will take any plant and grow it to perfection... Looking at your cute white one...if it is really a sport -they probably can sport into anything - I am thinking it will make a perfect gift to somebody who is not obsessed with names. Good Luck and thank you for the pleasure of seeing happy plants. Irina |
