Lynn,
Our posts crossed in cyber space!
The blooms on all of the mixed up semps sort of look like that. The one time 'Weirdo' bloomed for me in MA it did that too. Some of these plants that sported from a normal semp might be chimeras, that is one layer of tissue is mutant but the rest is normal. Occasionally when an offset arrives from just the normal tissue you get a "reversion" to the original. 'Oddity' does that rather often. So when you use these plants in breeding they sometimes behave just like original plant from which it sported. In other cases if pollen and/ or ovules is derived from mutant tissue you do get some but not all of the progeny that exhibit the mutant characteristics. Actually if you got a seedling that was JUST the mutant tissue it might be more like what 'Weirdo' is at it seems to exhibit several abnormalities.
'Weirdo' appeared as a SEEDLING so I'm assuming it was genetically homogeneous, all mutant.
Hope that helps!
Kevin
