Anyone growing any mystery varieties for Spring 2013?

I love mystery plants! I think of them as a treasure hunt and hope I strike it big. I've got a few plants already that are mysteries for now:

1. A volunteer from Fall 2012. It survived a freeze that took out a JDs in the same large bucket. It may be a variety called Orange Blossom that I picked up at Whole Foods last year that I grew in the same bucket. It's covered in baby blooms so I guess I'll find out soonish. Nice determinate plant. This one is going back in a large pot all by its lonesome.

2. A RL plant in a pack of Stump Of The World seeds. All the others came up as PL.

3. A plant I bought today at the nursery because I knew it was wrong. Marked as Black Krim with potato leaves. The seedling is about 5 inches tall and has a bloom spike forming already. I've called the supplier to check on any other PL varieties they are growing and the age of the seedling. I should be getting a call tomorrow.

4. I have some leaf variation in seeds of Brown Sioux. They are all RL but not all the plants are identical in leaf shape. We'll see on this one since I've never grown this before.

Anyone else?
