Arlene - I do realize that is often the case. And I was thinking that this first bloom might be a fluke. But looking at the other buds, they are fat and short, too. So that has me thinking that they may very well be doubles, too. I just am rather stumped as to where those double genes came from. If I could find even one double ancestor, then I could say ... that's where it came from!

Are doubles common even from non-doubling parents/grandparents? Is it a mutation that causes the doubling that might just show up in a non-doubling gene pool?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
