Have you ever noticed? Conditions that are considered horrible diseases in
animals and humans are desirable traits in trees: Scleroderma,
elephantiasis,
vitiligo, torticollis, dwarfism, psoriasis, etc. Remember albinism in
plants
means white flowers; albino animals & people have white hair & pink eyes.
As far
as I know, there is no equivalent in animals of variegated foliage, since
all
parts of the body must have circulation of red blood cells.
Iris
------------------

I am not sure about that, Iris. Hair on dogs and on people can be
quite variegated. Is it possibly foliage?
Hm - well, I guess not - hair doesn't fill the same job
requirements . . . that may be relevant . . .
Now, why does this occupy my mind - ach!
