Got a question, I know almost everyone on the forum has grown it before, most can't get rid of it, but have you ever seen the flower stalk branch near the top to produce 2 new inflorescence, if it is cool, dbl the seed lol , if not maybe I got a mutant . Please share your incite with me.

I've seen it before, D.capensis seems to be real variable in odd "sudden mutations"... I have had some REAL odd looking leaves on mine in the past- right now I have a big crazy double leaf type thing on one of my "typicals"- it seems to have semi-separated petioles but the leaf (leaves?) itself is definitely 2 leaves with a little join down the middle- if I had a camrea I'd take a pic
Trust the "weeds" to find new and exciting ways of becoming even more of a problem, eh??

Titom's first capensis had a flower stalk that splitted... Kinda cool! But what I liked was on mine ounce there was 1 flower bud that was accualy a leaf and not a flower Cya

Maybe I'm being overly technical but I think these are just developmental variations sort of like birth defects in humans, not necessarily genetic or mutations. Still they are interesting.

No, good to have someone here to keep things kinda on track, thanks Lloyd- we don't need too much misinformation here Yes, that would be the more proper way to put it, as the same specimen will grow normally a long time then due to some factor, make some really weird growth- either D.capensis is SO common that you just see it more, OR it's more prone to this sort of thing (which is the impression I'm under sort of)

Maybe it's some sort of recessive D. binata gene trying to come out of the closet Seriously, I think lloyd's right... I've seen this in other 'dew' species and once on a S. purp I saw in the wild up near Killarney, Ontario. >>> Rick <<<
