Diane-- Interesting observation about your Freesia laxa ssp azurea bloom. It made me go look at my photo's on this species. Just going through a few of my pictures, I also found the odd bloom in the group with markings on four of the petals. I like to grow this species because it blooms in January here, when little else is blooming. Now I'll have to go look at some of the reds and also 'Joan Evans' and see if this occurs with them too. Right now I have lots of seeds and bulbs of Freesia laxa ssp azurea. Debbie Houston, Texas
