The leaves just don't look right for the Texas Star.

Hi Karen. I grew this one from seed and when the seedlings first sprout and develop their first true leaves, they're almost spade shaped, but as it grows older the leaves start dividing more and more until they produce the mature pointed leaves. I think my seedlings developed the mature leaves when they were 2 ft tall. This year it's produced the most blooms ever, more than the previous years combined. Hurray!

I didn't know that about the juvenile leaves, Cam. I learn new things here daily! So your leaves are the more typical that look like marijuana leaves now?

At first I thought I was growing the wrong plant when I saw the juvenile leaves. Hilarious! Now the leaves look like marijuana or shredded marijuana leaves thanks to the grasshoppers. Rolling on the floor laughing

That's good to know. If I had seeds, I would have thought it was the wrong plant! It is a beautiful plant!

If you get some and have extras, I'd love that! No rush at all since they probably wouldn't be planted til early Spring.Thank you.

You're welcome Karen. I think I have a couple of seed pods that are developing. If they do develop, I'll send them your way. Smiling
