    Our azaleas were a few weeks ahead of yours, they're done now and it's time to trim the plants.

    I guess this thread is as good as any for me to share a freak black-eyed Susan growing in my yard.
    It's growing on the same plant with normal blossoms. I've never seen anything like this before.

    Even the stem for this bizzaro flower is bizarre, flattened like a ribbon cable. Compare to the normal stem and blossom below it.

    I would contact your local botanical type people - they would probably be very interested in that !

    Looks like you nailed it! And the page gives enough information for further study too. Fasciation.
    Now, I need to update the video's description, with credit to AttyPops if you're okay with that. Thanks!
    No need, but fine, but update with the article too, since all I did was send you a link, no real science or knowledge on my part. :) :blush:
