Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I hand pollinated a few flowers a couple years ago from a particularly good form with well marked leaves and non-muddy flowers, to my surprise they actually set seed, better still they came up, spending a full year in the seed pot before we dared pot them out, they have grown into neat little plants with widely variable leaf markings.
