Driving me crazy!

Driving me crazy!

This big royal purple has been in my mother's garden since 1972, the year she got married. This picture is very true to real life color, it has a strong grape scent and is pollen sterile but it does produce seeds when used as a dam rather than a sire. I named it Concordia but I've been trying to find its real name forever, with no luck! The closest I've found is "Royal Canadian" (Edmison, 1959), but that has the wrong scent according to the internet. Anyone have any ideas?

Weirdest mutation?

This is my weirdest mutation I've ever seen! This is an older NOID (but possibly Alcazar, they came from my grandfather's yard and ate 70+ years old). This mutation produced a bloom with two darker falls with beards that don't fall, one being out straight and one being erect. A single lighter colored standard that was drooped over like a fall and that was fused to a style arm/stigmatic lip. Two smaller deformed style ares that were little more than feathers. On the big style arm there were two main feathers that looked ok, but there was a smaller feather between them. And there was a double wide, bifid (forked) anther that produced pollen although I have no idea if it was at all viable. There's also a picture of what these are SUPPOSED to look like in the last picture.
