To make it even more interesting, I had a J. heuffelii 'Mars' produce a couple of offsets on short stolons last year. I tried to get pics, but they did not turn out. It had been overgrown by weeds, so wasn't getting normal sunlight. I wonder if that had something to do with it.

Oh, I wish that photo had turned out. That would have been so interesting, and would have fit right into this thread.

And I was really confused with my Mars. Then I realized I have two different Mars, S. 'Mars' and h. 'Mars'.
I had photos and remembered S. 'Mars' as having stolons, this spring the entire clump looked almost like small heuffelii.
But it is coming out of it and starting to make stolons. It really does have an odd growth habit at times.

Greg,
took these pic today .,color not good but shows up plain
Red Rum is the first 2 pic
#1 is the older circle, there are 6 of these around this plant. these aren't small about 2 1/2" across
#2 is a new circle starting above the next leaves there are 4 of these in this level



these 4 are Hart
#1 is looking down into the plant, #2 is i of the starts
#3 is 1 with a chick on a stolon forming and #4 is another 1 w/a chick on a stolon on the backside of the plant. and these chicks are coming from the small starts
cliff

Wow Cliff, that is odd, the little offsets sending out offsets. Great photos.
Everyone is finding wonderful oddities out in their semps collections. This is so interesting.

Cliff I love your semps! Really impressive! I love the stolons coming off the offsets!
Lynn totally agree, this is an interesting thread!

Very interesting!

Came across this odd flower stalk on 'Raspberry Ice' yesterday. It's a triple stalk.


And on this stolon on 'Zulu', if you look closely you can see little chicks forming all along the stolon.

This is turning into a year of weird semp happenings.

That Raspberry Ice is going to put on a 4th of July fireworks show.

It will be interesting to see if the Zulu stolon offsets bloom. That for sure will look odd.

Chris, your Raspberry Ice is really doing it's Swan Song in a big way...

It's OK, I have a ton of them and they need thinning out a bit.

Lynn, there really have been lots of strange things occurring with the semps this year. Fun to see that kind of stuff.

I love seeing all the oddness!! Its fun to get the chance to see what's happening in other people's semp yards!

I agree. I think we notice the odd things more than "normal" plant people do.

haha! I think so too!

Is that because we are odd, therefore relate to any of our plants that become odd?
Or is it because we are normal, therefore noticing anything that is not normal?

I'm sure some of both Lynn! I know I'm "unusual" - does that mean odd, yeah probably it does

Probably both, and me too Greg!

That's what makes this group so special.
