Two things come to mind for me. It is blooming really late this summer.Like 3 weeks. The other thing different this year is the color on my blooms. Usually, the petals are much paler and creamy.This year there is a noticeable peachy tint on the petals. The green edge is outstanding as usual. I believe its because I used the 'alfalfa pellets' this year, and not my usual 'organic alfalfa meal'. That will be corrected soon, as I am getting ready to order the meal in another week. The same has occurred with some other blooms where the pellets were applied. These are just suspicions, not conclusions. Next year, I will know more. I haven't used this plant much in my hybridizing program, but intend to. I have the entire Winter to work out what plants, I would like to cross this plant with that will hopefully carry that green edge into a new bloom. Always interesting.
