Here are some earlier photos from when it first came in late 2010.
Here is the small one on the left with Iron Gate Supreme center bottom (not looking very "Supreme" - should be more streaky); Blue Ivory center top; Kisuji right:

I took off the stable piece and put it in another part of the garden - hope it survives.
Here is the piece.

And here is Searing Flame back to normal. It's roughly in the center. The two streakers to it's right are both Iron Gate Supreme which also had a stable piece that I removed.

Searing Flame today - I need to check the sport I took off last season but that area is covered in chickweed which never seems to die in winter. (I have a wonderful crop of wild strawberries in another bed and tons of grass in another bed - winter doesn't slow down the junk.)

Here is the stable piece I took off last season.
The database mentions a couple of white centered sports.
