Here's a single leaf. I nearly forgot that I took lots of leaf pictures this year. But I should have put a penny on each one for scale.

'Dorset Clown' 2014
This one has grown quite a bit in the last 2 years. It flowered in mid-July 2014, but did not set seed.

2015 - July 25. This one is in too much sun this year and became faded in August, but its growth was good. And it flowered and I have ONE seed pod.

2017 update. Photo July 27. This one did set seed in 2015 and I've got a little seedling from 2016. So much white that it's growing slowly, but it is streaky.
I divided it and this is what I got.
The original plant, a bit the worse for having been tampered with. Photo June 7. The stabilized section. And one of two streaked sections. I'll offer one to my Hort. Society auction next spring if it remains streaky.
However the plant is unstable. In 2018, it emerged with one large eye that had stabilized to a plant with a margin.
