  Fascinating - but I'm not sure I'd want a lot of them.

  I've noticed similar things with flowers on occasion over the years, but noting as distinct as you have.Maybe some sort of genetic mutation.

  See original post

  I did think this also Pete, to have it as a reoccurring mutation is something I have never seen in any flower if the next bud is a two tone aswell I will know I have something that is peculiar if nothing else,

  You gotta save some seed of course and sow next year - Cosmos Ryan maybe

  Or have a crack at tissue culture

  Never heard of tissue culture looks very intriguing...

  definitely going to harvest some seeds and pot grow them next year if i get the same results ill attempt to breed the mutation. That is of course if the next flower is two tone and it is indeed the plant not just a double freak occurrence.  

  Thanks Pete!
