8) The variations of the colorful leaves of "Variegatum"
242 Variegatum tableau.jpg
a) on 2014 I sowed some seeds of the "variety" Variegatum " which has the peculiarity to have a variegated foliage.
Seeds resulted from Michel Loute (2005ML.
I sowed 4 seeds and I obtained 3 colorful plants and 1 not colorful plant.
I had planted only a plant in the colorful foliage and an other one in the not mixed foliage on which I collected some completely common red tomatoes.
The colorful plant just gave me two small tomatoes very late in the season.
I got back seeds: 4531AB and 4532AB.
b) On 2015 I sowed around thirty seeds coming from my three bags which I possessed.
I planted 18 plants distributed almost everywhere in all my other varieties.
This is the list of the sowing with their reference number and the place of the sowing.
Twice and ter when there are 2 or 3 seeds in the sowing.
There are 4 places:
· G: the big greenhouse
· S: the sub-roof
· X: outdoor
· DM: a knockdown shelter in good weather.
Every place is divided into plots of land: in A, B, C, … etc.

I noticed at first that
A) I had a little mixed plant
244 Variegatum ombre.jpg
B) That every plant is sensitive to the quantity of received light. Here always in the shade.

C) Mixed leaves variations of yellow and of green in the light of the sun.
246 Variegatum cotyl 51.jpg
That the stalk and the certain cotyledons looked like the stalk and the cotyledons of blue tomatoes.
It would seem to have here some blue genes.
To control in 2016.

That the mixing can see itself also on sepals and tomatoes before the maturity.

I kept seeds of all the placed plants not far from plants of blue tomatoes (which I also have seeds).
I hope that the blue danger here was beneficial me to obtain crossings between the colorful varieties and my other blue varieties.
The reactivity of the mixing towards the light and the formation) of anthocyanins could give me then magnificent plants next years
It least here the blue danger would have a positive influence on certain obtained crossings.
