That looks exciting :)

Looks like a throwback to the aggregatum type. It is very unlikely that you will see this sort of thing again, they are rare, and most nurseries take pains to use breeding strains that are not likely to revert like that. The golden aggregatum types seem to keep very well; so you should have these still in good condition next spring to plant back. It will be interesting to note if these stay aggregatum and how well they do over the upcoming generations. They may not be stable either, but since they won't be from seed, the chances are that they will be.

Fun stuff this handling the rare and accidental... Always the chance of finding something really worthwhile, although that generally isn't so much the case.

That's really cool. Hope this trait stabilizes for you.
