Forked leaves

While investigating possible choking on an E. ventricosum 'Maurelii' I discovered odd forking in the midrib of various leaves. This is one of a large number that I propagated from a large corm last fall, so I'm really hoping that the issue doesn't extend to the other (right now much smaller) siblings.

Re: Forked leaves

That's cool!
Why would you want it to stop.

Fukushima finally made it to Washington, I guess... :D

Re: Forked leaves

Thanks for sharing those pictures! Really cool! Is the forking only happening on one plant, or multiple? If multiple, I want one. This might a good plant to propagate later on to see if it happens again. Keep the pictures coming.

Re: Forked leaves

We don't need Fukushima here. We have Hanford.:ha::ha:

I agree... possibly a cool mutation. You might be able to sell them!

Re: Forked leaves

More likely just a confused growth point coming out of the undifferentiated callus I produced it from. The leaves have difficulty exiting the pseudostem, so I'm not sure if it's really a viable form for maturing plants. I'll have to let the other plants grow a bit to make sure they're typical, but I'll let you guys know if I find more of these.

Re: Forked leaves

I'm curious to know how it does and if you find more like this, too.
