More leaf photos, odd and freaky thread - leaf is growing very long threads for leaves. It is fun to watch grow.

So amazingly unexpected - do you find yourself check it every morning?

Yes, I do that, Betsy, and several times during the day. My colleague takes a smoke break, I take a MG break. Hahaha

Yes, it does look gnarly from pests. The Japanese are on target when they call these mutants "change morning glory".

A leaf broke off by accident. I enjoyed seeing its curls.
