Here is the most intriguing bloom I've found in the seedling patch this year. This is a seedling I've had under close observation for quite some time, it's a very large yellow/green from 'Olivette' that grows and offsets wildly, it's first bloom has opened up and I think it may have the most copper brown petals of anything I've ever seen, very distinct. 'Exorna' blooms have some brown hues, but this one has a far stronger color. The blooms are extra large, and I think their pretty special.

I'm very excited to use this plant as a parent, it's broad leaves, vigorous growth and amusing coloring have earned it a place amongst my favorite seedlings, the flowers now add another reason to like this plant. My only concern is that since 'Olivette' isn't a good producer of seed, it's possible this plant isn't either. I'll certainly find out next year if it's any more fertile than it's parent. A possible release, but I haven't made a decision just yet.
