Will you be separating out the few 'speckled' plants.  I like these even more than the 'striped' olivieri balansae.

Very good idea Arthur, not thought ! I think there are only two but your sharp eyes detect both.
Thank you .We can talk it over in november ... :D

  Dirk, That seems quite different than Tuzlabeli but Belpınar is a atrospermus location :-\. Where I have seen this subspecies, They all have dark spot at the base of outer petals (like yours) and they were very small.  If you just check the seeds in sipring that may help lots. I think most importan feature for this subspecies black seeds!

I thought Gordon Ramsey's vocabulary was richer than that :P

I hope that's the ONLY word of Gordon Ranmsey's that you're using Mark. :D
