Hmm... well, my term for today was going to be xyzlacatosis, which has the dictionary definition of:

struck with knowledge that there are few words in the English language beginning with x, y, and z

However, in a womanly struggle to play along, I humbly submit the term eXtra, as in:

eXtra tepals, in polymerous daylilies:






eXtra petal tissue, as in petaloids on peony type doubles









eXtra petal whorls, as in hose-in-hose doubles




eXtra petal tissue, as in cresting (on cristates)




Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
