I haven't tried pollenating the blossom and no bee pods formed, but it is
presumedly fertile. I don't currently have any common germanicas to
compare it to. The plant that is growning in a large container has leaves
up to 70 cm long and 4 to 5 cm wide. On the other hand, a sibling that
is growing in clay soil and has not bloomed, is very small.

I'm attaching a full resolution crop of the bracts of the flower that is
still blooming in the photo. I've lightened the mid-tones, but the
digital noise makes it difficult to determine the colors for certain.

Ken; since this came from a seed one probably would assume it is fertile. Did it form any pods? It would be interesting to know what its chromosome number might be. Maybe it is a tetraploid. Is it any larger that the common 44c germanica? Interestingly from the picture it would appear to have papery bracts at the time of flowering, this is usually associated with pallida and germanica usaully has bracts that are half green.
