Well how strange is that? It certainly does look fasciated. Where is twit? Wonder if it is one of those damage things again. It's not on the same plants you had the winter damage on is it? Sure is interesting. Which one is it? |

Time to get up Twit! Rise and shine! ![]() No, it's not the same ones that had winter damage. This is just a noid. I'm going to leave them and see what happens. Cubits Store: The Sempervivum Patch - plants, containers, accessories! Also stop by Timber Treasures and Garden Buddies on Cubits |

Keep taking pictures Chris. Wonder if they will produce fasciated chicks? |

Fasciated and other odd growing plants are valuable oddities. Please take care of that one - even if it is a no id at this point, if the pattern continues and reproduces, you could have something worth naming. Perhaps you've got Sempervivum 'Chris's Peculiarity' growing... ![]() |

I'm liking that name twit. Let me know when it's official so I can add it to the database. ![]() |

![]() ![]() I am so excited seeing their progress Chris. ![]() I have a fasciated lewisia and it will never bloom again. It bloomed for years before sending out all the fasciated leaves. ![]() |

That looks pretty cool! I've had fasciated lilies, but they were only that way for one year. Cubits Store: The Sempervivum Patch - plants, containers, accessories! Also stop by Timber Treasures and Garden Buddies on Cubits |

The lewisia is permanent, but it does have one pup coming off of it that appears to be normal. |

Some fasciation is caused by a virus, or other damage, and some plants certainly are more prone to it. Interesting! |

I've tried to take special care of these, but the fasciated chicks seem to be drying up. I will keep an eye on the hen to see if it produces any more like this. Cubits Store: The Sempervivum Patch - plants, containers, accessories! Also stop by Timber Treasures and Garden Buddies on Cubits |

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that Chris. I was looking forward to them becoming a mature odd plant. |

Interesting..... please explain 'fasciated' - for a gardener trying to learn how to grow lots and lots of these plants for a wreath (I already have the form !). I realize that goal may be years..?????... in the future. ![]() Louise |

Simply put, fasciation is when one or more growing parts of the plant get damaged or go off program to produce abnormal plant structures, typically enlarged and/or flattened from the normal. |
