Don Peace replied to congratulatory comments .....
"Well that was a bit of a surprise!
It's a seedling I selected from a 2002 sowing of @ScottishRockGC seed listed as ‘Black Form’. The seedlings were very variable and this one clearly has yellow genes as well as black ones.
#FarrerMedal - worth the 2:45 alarm call & long drive "

Always fun to grow from seed - and the success for exhibitors is not to be sneeezed at either!
