I have hesitated over the posting of this photo. It has flowered in six previous seasons and this year. In two of the last seven seasons it has flowered as an 11aW-GYR. The corona is a small, shallow disc but divided into three sections with each section forming a short, squat “T” shape that lays flat back against the perianth. In those seasons it is a split corona poet. The remainder of the seasons it looks like this photo with a vestigial or (as in this season) NO corona at all. My belief is that it has the genes for a split corona poet. It has been raised from a wild collected poet. Obviously not at all consistent. It is sort of interesting.
Clearly peculiar!

I, too, have a poet oddity. It has come this way every year, very consistent. It came from some open pollinated poet seed I planted in 1992. Interesting? Ugly? What?
