This couldn't be a better example of what the word peloric was intended to describe.
peloria
/pɛˈlɔːrɪə/
noun
1.
the abnormal production of actinomorphic flowers in a plant of a species that usually produces zygomorphic flowers

Check it out Ray!

I personally like the oddly shaped and colored blooms (peloric or not depending on your beliefs) They are unique and usually colorful. Grace and Wintergirl, they are both beautiful. Wintergirl your is spectacular in it's perfection.

Come on people.....this is no different than a two headed snake or a 5 leg donkey. These are genetic mutations......and what makes it worse, they are caused by man's intervention with nature. People are protesting genetically enhanced plants for food consumption........this is actually a step worse! This is the result of an attempted enhancement gone wrong.

Man evolved here. Man is part of nature. Whatever we do is part of nature.

So pollution of our planet, landfills, trash, global warming, decimation of our natural resources, are all acceptable since we are part of nature?

Really your going to go with this when we were talking about a peloric orchid! Funny how people are always talking about how a weather man can't predict the weather, but global warming, now they sure know that's a fact.....please

Try to stay on topic.......no one is discussing global warming. The discussion is about peloric mutations being part of a natural evolution or interference by man to cause mutations. I'm sure you can find another web site if you want to debate global warming.

Just my two cents, arent all Hybrids technically genetic mutations?
