Hi Brenda,

I absolutely love the foliage on that first one. Sharply pointed leaves and wavy leaf edges. Definitely save every seed that specimen will produce..

I don\'t have a lot of scabious recombinants, but this is one specimen. It has more than the usual number of guard petals and they have an informal cactus-based style. And the center transitions from conventional scabious florets to normal pollen florets. It reminds me to plant more scabious stuff next year.
