Greetings -
Last year I purchased a vandaceous plant; it bloomed shortly thereafter with
mutated flowers. I waited to see subsequent flowerings, thinking that perhaps
some trauma had caused a one-time glitch. Here in the deep south, USA, these
plants bloom pretty often, and after three more instances of the exact same
mutation, I think the plant has some genetic defect.
So, my question: what should I do with it? Beautiful, healthy plant, but the
flowers - oh, my! I guess I'm too much of a plant geek to trash the plant, but
I don't want to give it to an unsuspecting third party, either. Maybe offer it
at a meeting, with the warning that the plant is a mutated freak with horrific
flowers? It is Ascda. Tahourdin 'Bronze Grape' so the flowers, at least, are
fragrant.
Thanks - Nancy
