Just wanted to share this photo of the mutant weird-yet-awesome flower. It’s what makes this leucophylla so special as it’s has a quite a different flower structure. Notice the small white tips in the middle — those are the stigmas and I actually am attempting to pollinate it. This morning I threw on some S. flava var. cuprea pollen on those little tips and will hope for the best. S. leucophylla ‘Tarnok’ is not known to be a very good pod parent, but we’ll try and see what happens. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s flower structure is one to be enjoyed.
