Hmmm, I crossed a white flower that has heavy spots with an orange flower that has no spots whatsoever. I was probably hoping for an orange flower with spots, but instead...


It's not the most spectacular flower, but look again: the central cup is a nice lemon yellow, but the inner tepals are bright orange. That is quite an unusual color pattern. I am not sure what to cross it with next, but it's definitely intriguing.
