Yall gotta see this

[Bowlsworth]

This is a Brown Eyed Susan/mutant. Second year Ive noticed it and there are a few more this year. I will Keep mutant seeds seperate this year and hope to replicate this result for others amusement. It appears to be multiple flowers fused from the start..kinda like siamese twins.

Questions

Is this a trait that will show up in the offspring?
And if so, What should its name be?

Crazy how nature throws us oddballs every once and awhile.

One thing and one thing only comes to mind.....

It is a sexy flower

The names I have wouldnt be appropriate for the general public. Glad im not the only one to see its sexiness.
Ill take some more pics tomorrow of its companions.

LOL! My thoughts exactly. That is cool though

 

[trichrider]

it's hard to come by a flower such as that...she has sisters?

 

[TruthOrLie]

Looks less like Susan's brown eye and more like her whispering eye

pretty amusing deformity, well if your noticing an increasing population I would guess it is a passable trait. Good work on the seed saving!

Pollenate each one with the other and that should give you that trait.
Every one you find,put a wite paper bag over them..Every other day shake the flower in the bag and then switch bags,shake again.
Do this several times. Keep a bag on them intil they mature(keeps away stray pollen)
Most of the seed should have that trait.
Good luck and if you make seeds.Keep me in mind.
Thats one sexy flower.

Can you say Pink Floyd!!!
