It's so fun to see what blooms from those little leaves we put down months ago! Which one is the real Rob's Humpty Doo?

Hi Jamie,

I have three of Rob's Humpty Doo flowering right now and they all look like the one on the right. Lynn may be right about your having a sport.

Neat. I guess I'll keep growing it and seeing if it'll propagate the same flower.

I was told Humpty Doo is a chimera and will not grow true from a leaf. That said I have heard of a couple people that did get one to grow true from a leaf.
