Above is the result of the 2014 seedling graft..

It's expression of recessive genes, no reason to think there's a link with other traits. If you grew this one out and got seeds, you'll have a higher percentage of tricotyledons that's about it.

Yeah, All of my tricotyledon seedlings ended up being normal. I get them quite often.

I did once have a variegated tricotyledon astrophytum, but those seeds were like 100% variegated. So I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with it. Lol.
