I like it!

Cool that it put out a crested chick! And your Fame Montrose is very odd.

Oh twit, that is a most wonderful find. And it does look like an offset. Can't wait to hear what you find when you divide it.

Here's an update on my annoying noid which hasn't changed that much in 1 month (unlike Chris' which metamorphed into a bigger beauty and oh, so very interesting!)

May and then June:


And here's one that I could have sworn was a lone head and now it appears to be two heads. I thought maybe I was mistaken about the lone head but the two heads look like they are still enclosed within one head's worth of outer leaves.

Bev, that first one in your post did change quite a bit in one month.

And you're right - that bottom one does look like it turned into a 2 headed monster somehow.

I agree with Chris on both photos. Big change in one month on the crested NOID.
And how cute, Siamese twins.

Just took this updated photo of Oddity. It is doing something very odd.
There is more than one leaf doing this odd thing.


And look at what Grigg's Surprise is doing.

Oddity is looking like it is developing a 'third leg'...

I wasn't going to say anything, but wonder if it is a boy semp?

too funny.
Theses are so interesting.

Sorry.

Well Lynn
You got everyones attention tho
cliff

Had to go back quickly and take another look, naughty, naughty

I must say, that when I saw it out in the garden, it did pop into my mind that it looked like a boy semp.

ok.....minds out of the gutters....
Here is my 'Fame Montrose'

Wow Sandi, that is unusual. How old is the rosette?

The rosette is about 3 years old or so. It is actually 2 large rosettes with 2 or 3 small rosettes from last year that are tucked under the 2 larger rosettes. Notice the new offsets are the "normal" form.

Yes, I could see the new offsets. That is a very impressive clump.

Still don't know why my Monstrose rosettes turned to normal leaves?

Sandi, Some of the leaves of my Monstrose are doing that as well. I did not post the pic as there were only a couple of them. Here's the pic I have. I'm not sure if it is the same rosette as the other pics.

This one is S. 'Boromir' crested. Sherri sent this to me last year. I was very concerned, with the bad weather we were having, if it would survive. It's doing OK though very unstable. Thank you very, very much, Sherri!

Lynn your grigg's surprise looks like its getting ready to bloom! Not coning but a bloom bud! I have a Fame montrose that is normal, is it possible that it will develope some of these abnormal virtues???
