The 548 live plus other stuff.

The recently planted 548 pothos seed are germinating and looking good. The offspring appear to be of three types: green, variegated or albino.

The impressive Dieffenbachia mutant "StarBright M-1" yielded 5 apparent polyploids during propagation. They should flower this winter.

Our sterile crape myrtle are flowering and 3 or 5 of the selections appear to have good enough ornamental potential to be considered for further testing. We are now collecting data regarding secondary flowering of the trusses.

A really cute gynura mutant has yielded more cuttings and soon we can do a production test.

Several of our new mutant pothos have been increased for testing and more mutant-inducing treatments.
