This took my eye yesterday, seems there are 3 or 4 plants with similarly marked flowers!

That's definitely NOT a one-off. I wish the gene list of JIC was a bit easier to understand for 'me numpty'. I'll have a look though.
I am somewhat envious here! You do get so many more interesting flower colours. Had it not been for the unusual 'redder Elisabeth' here I'd say there must be something very special in your soil.or in the air.Enjoy (and DO get carried away taking piccies for us all to see, please)

I hope you are right, though I've no seeds and I'm not sure I'll get any! But it is nice to see
Lol, I'm glad it's not just me having issues navigating and understanding JIC, I may go and brave the site!

Interesting, I started to think it might have been a mutation the year before, but I came down more to thinking along the line of as these are an F2 variety and there are 4 possibly 6 plants with this trait out of at a guess 20-30 plants, that it might be a recessive gene coming to the fore. Which I guess could equally be from a mutation in the previous year as much as a hidden gene from either of the stable parents.
If it weren't so late in the season I'd make a couple of crosses with the parents to see if it can be repeated.
