Today while out surveying and photographing plants I noticed that there ARE splotches on several of the other flowers on the bees jubilee now. I like the splotches; however, I do agree that more would be better. Here are some pics from today. Note the small flecks and streaks on several of the flowers.

Just to clarify, I'm posting this photo to show the uncharacteristic, broken color 'scribbles' on the flowers. This is not about the beauty (or lack thereof) of the flowers. My garden has suffered considerable neglect since my knee injury several years ago, and this plant is no exception. I'm going to try to get out there tomorrow to do some weeding. But I just couldn't resist this opportunity to show all of you this unexpected behavior of my Bee's Jubilee.
