El,
whatever this turns out to be, it is, IMO, a great find. Maybe someone
can do a chromosome count, which may make us wiser. I hope you manage
seed for the exchange, as I would definitely find a place for this
smaller spuria. If the white clone is sterile, cross the pale yellow
to it. Both seem to have the 'outline' effect in their genes. The
larger species have gotten out of hand in my small garden, which is to
be expected, as quite a few are natives to the general area and having
an attractive semi-dwarf as breeding partner may be what we need.

Slightly better picture. It's aging

I just can't seem to get a good
picture of this one. I've taken at least 30 pix so far. I may have to
drag the box outside, once the rain and high winds stop.

The newly dug spuria is a creamy
buttery colour, and slightly smaller than the white one. I've taken a
comparison picture of my existing one, but also discovered I need 3
hands.
