Re: Spuria?

Thanks Jamie. 
 
I feel quite lucky, indeed.  It was an exciting week, for sure.  We'll see if there'll be pods on anything amongst these 2 for this year.  There's several more flowers to open on the white one, and just that one aging flower on the buttery yellow.  I'll keep an eye on it though, as I think I'll wait a few days to clear off the grass from around the rhizomes and see what happens with that flower first.  There's enough soil & grass to keep the rhizomes safe.

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 before my eyes though, like a Dorian Gray painting.  :O

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.
