I almost missed this seedling but really noticed it the other evening when it was nearing dusk and I passed by my seedling patch -- and there were two flowers blooming together with this brilliant golden edging that stood out like neon in the faint light. Unfortunately I didn't snap a picture then and had to wait until these two bloomed together yesterday to get a picture. But the edging almost reminds me of a fringe, and I had already saved one other plant from this same cross last month that I think also looks a little fringed. These blooms in the first two pictures are on a rebloom scape.

And here is the first one that I had already flagged to keep for now:

I'm keeping them for now because they just look different from any of my other seedlings with this fringy look, but I don't like the fact that on both plants the blooms seem jumbled when two flowers bloom together. But I guess this at least is a start...
