Carol, In Qld there are quite a few obsessive collectors and breeders but you guys are way ahead of us. IMO (and you know what they say about opinions lol) We breed more for color and for ability to cope in more difficult/marginal climates like Brisbane and Sydney. While the Hawaiians truly excel at leaf form (your junos are to die for) and minis. Your conditions are so good for cords that you get better color and more lush growth. I've seen Willy's Gold grown "hard" and the colors are bleached, the leaves don't have that sexy slightly undulating droop, nothing like how they grow in optimal conditions.
I'm bidding on a new Hawaiian right now. HeeHee. 'Akala Ahu. Do you know it? These are three I got a few weeks ago. Do you know these guys? More Hawaiians! Ann
