Tom or anyone else;

I was aware that the flower was malformed having "tepals" (a cross b/n
sepals and petals) that give it a vague pom-pom effect. That's why I'm
after it. What I wasn't aware of was that it's sterile. Can anyone tell me
whether it is available in tissue culture? In fact is it available at all!??

By the way I'm still after the other seeds if anyone can help?
