to have four outer petals.
This is a common mutation, usually happening just once and never again; but
in Louise's clone it happens regularly but not always, and in the bulbs she
gave me it has never done it again! The clone is known as 'Teresa Stone' and
is certainly a very good reliable G. elwesii.
