Carolyn, to fuel the speculation, you also mentioned to me in 2011 that there was a lady in Wales who also had some variegated GZC in the plants she grew from your seed. She was cloning the plants to continue the variegation, but you hadn't heard back from her about the trait being passed by seed.

Out of the plants my sister and I grew from your seed 2 years ago about half showed variegation (1 of mine and 3 of my sister's) I saved seeds from all 4 of my plants and grew 35 seedlings up to the 4-5 leaf stage and about 10 of those showed some variegation.

I also saved bagged seeds from my one original variegated plant, and somewhere in your seed collection you should have a packet of GZC seed containing seed from only that plant.

Thanks for the history of GZC - very interesting
