They're only a few feet apart, the 2nd one may be slightly drier as it's under the edge of an oak tree. I doubt that would make this difference. The seed was from an ebay seller, she supposedly sold seed from her and possibly her friend's own gardens, but is a regular seller

The 3rd one was part open today. It's bulbous but more towards the bottom. The stigma is blue, it looked to be fuzzy and the expanded pic shows this, nothing else unusual. Pollen is YELLOW. It seemed to come to maturity more quickly than the others, the season is changing so perhaps in a hurry to mature. Very little striping, and the petals look to have a crepe effect, visible from the pic of the inside. The 4th one is in a hurry to open too, it looks much smaller.
