Unusual Amount of Dai Tubes

I've been putting this post off for a couple of days. A number of Dai Tubes on several different flowers have been showing up and I can't explain it.

Here is Cornell from yesterday.

Hi Gourd,

I`m not fimiliar with Cornell MG and it looks interesting. Is the trilobe leaf at the bottom of this posted picture growing from a different plant? It`s inconsistant with Picotee MG plants leaf and I`m just curious. I have several Picotee plants growing and non have trilobe leaves.

Hi Dee,
Yes, that is the plant next to the Picotee mix pot.

Gourd when you get the picture of the bloms send us a close up of tthe leaves on the picotee mix. I`d like to see these. The dai tubes are unusual. It would be interesting to see if these will come back from seeds because you may have you something fun and interesting to keep and grow there.

They opened and they are gorgeous..the is the first picotee flower I've ever had.

Leaf

several leaves of the plant, also can someone tell me what this type of leaf is called. I was reading a little and it has that whirlpool where it meets the stem.. I may have interpreted that wrong.

I'll take more flower photos this morning.

OMG they are gorgeous A!!! I ♥ them!!!

Yes they are gorgeous. Stunning color with the 2 shades of blue.
Where's my bib?

looks outstanding as the fuchia upward tube provides more of a physical and resultant coloration contrast of the different corolla parts...

Very(!),Very(!) nice looking...

TTY,...

P.S. - it's so interestingly mysterious as to why you are getting so many of the reversed tubes...
