Is this an unusual brug?

Post by Gruntfuttock »

I don't know what the technical term is for flowers with joined petals like brugs, but on looking at many photos and all the other brugs I have, brugs normally have 5 co-joined petals making up the flower.

I planted seeds from my Frosty Pink cross last November and today the first flower has opened. It only has four "petals".

Does anybody know if this is this unusual?

Gruntfuttock, usually 5 but sometimes 6. You might want to submit that to ABADS for their gallery of different ones?

I'd wait to see it is just that one flower as sometimes happens; I'd be surprised if this was not just a one-time thing.
