Post by redcrx »

Yellow Polka Dot Bikini is a sport of Striptease. It changes both its center color and edge color during the season.

This flower picture is from a couple of seasons ago. It was a second flowering for this plant which is why it is so late in the season.

It's funny when you look at the Striptease sports how they blend together. Your first two pictures look like normal YPDB but the third looks like Juha viewtopic.php?f=1&t=55359. I was going to point out the similarity to another version Outer Space and then noticed there isn't a topic for it (yet) just a picture viewtopic.php?f=1&t=54196&p=473450&hilit=outer#p473450
