I have those same Gaillardias Tara. I have a batch of the large Blackeyed Susans that mutates and keeps green petals that never turn yellow that appear every year.
I used to have a huge patch of coneflowers before I got into daylilies. In 2007 I took these pictures because I didn't know why the blooms were mutating like this. I didn't know it was called fasciation. I don't know that I would call them beautiful, but they are unique

Those pictures speak words that most would fear to say about what they see in them. Nature is nature. If these were inkblots, what would the therapist possibly think the right answer should be?!
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
