Thanks to everyone for the comments on my stippled seedling! I have to agree with most comments.

Julie - Ironically, my Stippled Statement seedling is crossed with 'Alexa Kathryn.' Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! I am sure that cultivar added to the muddiness of this seedling's blooms. I love everything about this seedling except the muddy color on the blooms. But in real life, the muddiness isn't quite as pronounced. It has so many good attributes that I like, even the fact that the blooms scapes grow lower in the foliage didn't bother me because of the abundance of blooms. It is a great plant for the front of the garden. And it thrives here .... which is a BIG plus! There does seem to be a little bit of rust resistance to it as well. And it re-blooms before the rest of the first blooms are finished. Instant re-bloom. So I need to cross it with something "white" to clean up that color?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
