Dr. U (and anyone else) - Do you have a reference for the fact these are decaploid? I don't doubt it...actually I'd just about concluded that 'Lipstick' was before I read this page, but the patent for 'Pink Panda' calls it a "chromosome subsitution" line, which is 98% Fragaria in its genomic composition. I find this a little hard to believe, and patents are notoriously bad sources for science info, but I'm just curious where this info came from.

Also, does anyone know about the ornamental strawberry 'Wildfire'? I've seen occasional references to it alongside 'Lipstick' and 'Pink Panda', but I've never been able to find out more than that it has red/pink flowers, but no idea whether this is also a hybrid with Potentilla Elakazal 01:20, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
