Fasciation has always been fascinating to me. Here's a quick page dealing with fasciation in lilies. I found it interesting that the cause was given as good culture! I think things like rapid changes in weather conditions at a certain stage of growth might be more likely.

Here's a Cecil stem that came from Moby's garden last year. We all know her lily culture is great.
I will post photos of the flowers once this opens.

And here is a not so good photo of the flattened stem.

Share your photos on this thread.

No kidding? I have a Cecil doing that too! Maybe they got mad that I disturbed them.

Lest anyone be misled, my garden is the only thing about me that is 'cultured'.

I don't know if this counts, but I call it the three headed monster. It is 'Dimension' in three dimension. Sort of a freak if you ask me.

It starts as one stem and splits into three

Sorry I think I posted the same thing twice above. But here's another....

A clump without the clump.

Verrrryy interesting!

I have a fasciated lily this year too. I think it's a Red Hot or Satisfaction... I'm not sure, I just know it's looking like a monster. I'll try to remember to get a picture of it tonight.

Got that pic yet? Here's one of mine ~ a beastie with only 2 heads.

It's Red Hot and it is really ugly. It has two heads about six inches from the top of the stalk. It also got frost nipped...

Lily von Shtup gettin' kinky

Red Hot will be fun to watch. I have a kinky one too. Looks like he doesn't want to be so close to his siblings. All the rest in that bunch are nice and straight. Wonder what makes them do that?

And a conjoined gaillardia head.

Cool pix susan. Maybe the lily up there thinks his siblings have cooties.

Gaillardias seem to do that quite a bit, don't they?

This is me Octomom Fata Morgana.It has over 30 buds and a flat stem.
I moved lilies next to it last summer if thats what made this one bolt.

What do you mean by 'bolt'?

I think Jo is referring to the post I made, where I said they think fasciation might be caused by fast growth. So bolting, like in growing fast.

Feel free to correct me if I said anything wrong.

Oh no, you didn't say anything wrong! I've only heard the term used to mean 'prematurely going to seed'.
