I was just wondering, if you would cross an antho-free S. Flava with a S. purpurea heterophylla, would it result in an all green Catesbaei?! That would be a sight to behold ;D Has anybody ever tried this?

It should work, the genes for colouration are not in either parent.

Yes, a few people I'm SURE have the very thing you are asking about.
One grower crossed a few antho-free specimens of different species to make a crazy looking antho-free thing- don't know if he named it but it's a REALLY distinctive looking plant, pics of which have been posted hereabouts

most likely, my purp f heterophylla will flower again this year, so if someone happens to have a flowering antho-free flava, this could be done somewhat easily  |

I know who has it but to name them would not be polite. I should have a piece of it soon (I wouldn't be surprised if my clump was getting cut right now, the person said it would happen this weekend) One thing I can say is that it is a weird looking plant that clumps well (the person I am getting it from got it last year and it spread like CRAZY already) I do not remember the specifics of the crosses involved but the plant is that weird alien green typical of antho-free plants and is a really compact plant thanks to the psittacina crossed in.. Okay looking around the forum I can't find a single description of it, I'll post a pic when I get it OR if I visit with someone who has one growing  |
