That reminds me of the story behind the Jan Trimmer 2009 intro Discarded Beauty. This is a quote from their web site:
DISCARDED BEAUTY (Jane Trimmer) Tetraploid (Unknown x Unknown) 44” EM Re. Sev. 9” We bloom most of our seedlings in one year and when we clean the seedling beds, sometimes an unbloomed seedling is thrown in by mistake! Discarded Beauty got it’s name after being observed blooming on a pile of discarded seedlings from the previous year. I believe this plant is important because of the grand plant habit and great bud count. She also has a pronounced appliquéd throat. This trait is readily passed on to the offspring. DISCARDED BEAUTY has 3 branches and about 30 buds.

I guess it is Unknown x Unknown since when it was thrown away thye label was not convienently still around. How inconsiderate! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
