there are children from this plant here in the garden. at least half a dozen. this is the diploid version with 22 chromosomes. the tetraploid version sits on the opposite side of the garden. there are some tet kids too. and the more i think of it there are crosses i have not made that should be made. i am still in that early summer folder. not even july. i need to save some pollen from both versions of this flower and use it on the mid seasons and late bloomers. something exciting might happen…

Stunning picture!
Wonderful photo, John. I’m not picturing you with your wizard hat on.
For most of my summer gardening the hat is a boonie. In camo.
