Since we are showing some oddities, here is one that bloomed 2 years ago, showed the same markings on every bloom, but this picture shows the most extreme, and hasn't bloomed in since.
The lumpy waves on the front created the opposite effect on the back...more like cups or voids. I will see some kids next year, but I am more hopeful to see it bloom again. It is planted very close to a sidewalk, and at first I thought maybe it's roots were fighting with the soil medium for space, and the petal showed the struggle. Not a deep thinker here.
It is a cross I had done many times, and is really taking EMERALD STARBURST back to itself in using RFK. None of the other seedlings have this feature, in fact, SHALOTT is from the same cross. I was wondering if anybody has ever seen this look before?
