dkuceraDescription
This one is very ruffled, not sure why, but very pretty. Another oddity, it bloomed from the lower part of stem first. Don't they,(sunflowers) usually bloom from top first?

drmwturnerDescription
Distinctly variegated leaves. Never seen this before. Given how they sucker, it was hard to tell if it was a separate tree or an offshoot. Very distinct nonetheless.
