Leftwood said:The first time a "double bud" happened to me was way back in my college years (late '70s). ... when applying it [Round Up], I tried to be so very careful, but I oversprayed on one of my lilies in the bud stage. Quickly, I rinsed all I could off. One of the buds developed just as the one you picture, Joshua.

Never had any other anomalies, even fasciation, until 2009. Now at least one thing happens every year, and I don't use chemicals (although, perhaps, insecticidal soap). I hate climate change.

Thanks for the story, Rick. I haven't sprayed them with anything - the only products I use are Richgro Beat-a-Bug alternating with a pest oil when necessary (and this Spring I've so far only used it on the Irises several metres away to deal with aphids).
