Certainly a good point Joe. We see a lot of hybrids down here using V. Doctor Anek. They are colorful, large and round, but typically, they exhibit extra tissue along the midribs of the petals resulting in a characteristic ridge. Floral texture of these hybrids is also distinctive. No doubt, all of these problems are caused by genetics. I suppose it is juat a matter of semantics what you call it In this case Melissa, crippling refers to a deformity of the flowers resulting in extra tissue, twisting, color abberations and assymetry.
