Would you look at this freakaploid

Edit: I've just learned this is not polyploidy, but rather fasciation.

So, uhh, would you look at this fasciating dandelion

#Cristate growth, also known as #Fasciation, is an abnormal growth pattern in plants where the growing tip elongates and spreads horizontally, resulting in a crested or fan-like appearance instead of the typical rounded form.

This often flattened, contorted growth can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or even damage to the plant's apical meristem.

Here's one of my favorite residents in the #indoorgarden -- A curled blue vates kale plant that is so fasciated that I'm no longer allowed into heaven:

Fasciation in a female zucchini. The third picture is a normal female flower. The first 2 show abnormal cell proliferation. I have no idea if the bees got in there to pollinate it, or if it can even be pollinated. The 4th picture shows the zucchini itself is about 4 inches long, much longer than a normal and pollinated female fruit. #fasciation #vegetablegardening #gardening #growyourown #veggies #zucchini #abnormalities #deformity

Cool #fasciation on our #Casuarina. Dozens of these tiny brown #beetles (maybe nitidulids?) ran out of it, could be the cause #PlantInsect
