Well . . . since you ask, yes. But first, here's one that got me excited
when it first bloomed four years ago. Since then, I've been trying to
figure it out. It's a cross of TRUDY x WABASH made in '92 that first
bloomed in '96. It does all kinds of wild things. It may send up a stalk
that is all WABASH-type, then another stalk that is all TRUDY-type. Another
stalk may have blooms in which two falls and two standards split the color
patterns, and the third fall and standard will be one type or the other --
or all three may be split. Don't be misled when I call one type
"TRUDY-type". I just call it that to distinguish it from the WABASH-type.
Actually, whereas TRUDY is a brownish amoena, this flower has flush-yellow
stands and mahogany falls with a bronze edge. I'm attaching two photos. The
first shows the splits. The second shows this critter at its wildest --
with three different flowers on the same stem -- TRUDY-type on the bottom,
WABASH-type in the middle, and a splitter on top!
