Or just a different expression of genes than we usually see. I found the
photo very appealing, Don. That green may be a very recessive gene, and the
swirling petals. I doubt it's pathology, but I've been wrong before. The
real trick will be to mark the plant and see if it looks like that next year;
it may revert to normal bloom. I'd also be surprised if the seed came true,
but you can always try. This is the kind of plant find that you could find a
market for.
