I have not yet seen anything like that here in Mallorca, but I will keep looking.

The wild form doesn't occur on Mallorca but it does occur in the east of the Mediterranean.

You are all so quiet at the moment. This wasn't going anywhere so here's more. I can't think that you won't get this now.

Yes, I would have been surprised if you didn't get it. Occasionally this species has yellow stamens instead of the usual black. I have seen this in the wild in Crete and Israel. Here, from a seed raised mix of cut flowers grown in Devon is a yellow with the yellow stamens.

At last! The yellow stamens confused me, but then I remembered that you previously wrote that the wild form only occurs in the eastern part of the Mediterranean.
