Possible Chariots of Fire Sport!

This bloom opened today.  Everything is normal, but check out the edge.  Does this look like it could be a sport?  Or does this happen often...?

That's interesting, Jordan. If this was in summer I would say it was likely a sport. In this late fall weather I never trust what I see in the blooms. What you have to do is the same as for any potential sport - mark the branch the flower is on with a ribbon or twist tie or something and wait for another bloom. If 2 or more flowers on that branch show the same change then it is almost certainly a genetic sport that will keep the new flower on rooted cuttings from that branch.

That would be very cool if you got a sport that has a cool edge like that

Would be exciting if it were a sport.  With me moving them in and out these days it may just be an oops occurrence.  I will keep everybody updated!

Well, if it turns out to be a sport and you can "capture" it by rooting some cuttings (Chariots of Fire roots very reliably) then you get to name it as a new variety.
