I'm with you Jules- I have never cared for the 4x4 polys unless they are a spider or a narrow UF. I do like the 5x5s though!
And those fused things are really cool! You can tell if it is a fused bloom by counting the pistil(s). If there is only one it is a poly. If there are two it is a fused bloom. Here is RIBBONETTE. Last year it had a fused scape with several fused blooms.
