"Mystery Pink" 9-10-25

Petunia

Along with "Mystery Orange Zinnias" (for no better name)
which were never planted. But for some reason, they spontaneously appeared both appeared in June and July in the same pot with "Cardinal Star" Calibrachoa that I actually did plant back in May

This has been a strange Summer.
This is just one of 11 pots with mysterious, self-planted flowers of varieties I haven't grown in years and/or have never grown before. Some of these plants have been flowering annuals that produce only sterile seeds. Those appeared in early April (when no other flowers were growing) after the pots were outside all Winter in prolonged below zero tempts. They defy the laws of horticulture science.
