very cool!
In examining the plant more closely, every branch except the triploid branch has weird "even-odd" nodes: the 1st node has 2 leaves, the 2nd node 1 leaf, the 3rd 2, the 4th 1, etc. (I will post some pics of this in the AM) The meristem is bi-lateral.

So now I'm wondering if the "triploid" is simply the "even-odd" thing flattened out, or if the "even-odd" branches are the "triploid" thing streched out.

I'm also wondering why I didn't notice this until the plants was almost 4 weeks old. A case of overlooking the weirdness because the plant looks so beautiful?
Volker Reviewed by Volker on . Everyone loves a FREAK... the mutant thread! Hey all! I have a couple oddballs in the garden that I'd like to share with you. I hate my camera. These are all fairly common mutations you will see if you grow long enough. The one I never got a good pic of is partial albinism, so if anyone has one to share, by all means, do! #1: It's a White Rhino about a 3 weeks to a month from seed... Self topped early... Not from pinching or damage or stress, it just split. #2: This is a Purple Star plant about the same age. It started out with Rating: 5
