First time I have seen this one. Anyone familiar with it? I assume it is a new hybrid T.erecta. Appreciate any info you can provide. :)

That is definitely similar though the petals on this one are not as severely cut. Blooms do appear in both singles and doubles. I'm uploading one of the double bloomed variation now. Thanks for your input, Carol!

Lack of responses generally means people don't know.

Besides new hybrids, there are "old" heirlooms and open-pollinated varieties of such plants that are also being sold. I grew some T. erecta that were similar to yours a number of years ago from seed I got from Horizon Herbs. It was an open-pollinated variety. If you see variety in plants and blooms from the seeds you planted, I'd be more adapt to suspect one of these rather than a hybrid.
