It's a nice one, Martin. Is it one of your vigorous selections?

It seems strong, and it's a big flower, but I'm still bulking it up so it's a bit early to say just how vigorous it'll be, but hopefully it should have some hybrid vigour.

Sorry Brian I didn't word that clearly. We've been to PP every time we've been in Norfolk and I haven't failed to buy anything yet!

Even more interesting.

Also fascinating to see the chimera, John Finch and I have seen something similar, where hlaf the leaf was yellow, but also half the inner marks so there was one green mark, one yellow mark and one where half was yellow and half green. :o

The one I really love is http://cs319727.vk.me/v319727301/3a58/urnaY2lbUo0.jpg

If it were me, and given the permission of the law and the landowner, I would have removed one or two bulbs for cultivation leaving the rest to produce exotic seedlings.
