Re: variegated agave origins

Dear Steve,

I'm pretty familiar with all of the examples you mentioned...

I've been considering sowing some large batches of various agave
species in the hope of obtaining a few variegated seedlings that are
otherwise unobtainable in the trade, such as A.bracteosa with a white
center stripe:

(disregard incorrect label on photo...)
  
Does anyone have any experience as to what rate chance variegated
seedlings occur in agaves?
1 in a thousand? 1 in 10,000??? or even less????

Sincerely,
Peyton Walton
