I would love to see how your Fame Monstrose is doing. Please share your experience with how stable this odd leave growth is.

Mine came in 2011, and had the most wonderfully odd shaped leaves. This lasted until the following year when all the offsets came with normal shaped leaves. Even the original Monstrose leafed original rosettes reverted to normal leaf shape by 2013, without producing any Monstrose rosettes.

July 2011


June 2012, notice that all of the offsets have normal leaves.


This last spring I was going to remove all of them from my collection. I was no longer interested in them. So glad I didn't get around to doing the removal. Look what is peaking out from the surrounding rosettes. Wish I could understand what conditions cause the distorted leaves to form?
