Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

(1) The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of MOGI ONE grown in a greenhouse in Altha, Fla. This plant is approximately 14 months old, shown in an 8 inch pot.

(2) FIG. 2 illustrates a close up view of the flower.

(3) The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
