Already for a few years, the dandelions here in Tübingen tend to form a double or even triple blossom, with a correspondingly thick stem. Has anyone else seen this mutation elsewhere?

Hi-
that’s not something I’ve seen in dandelions yet but I often get doubles in one plant or another, it seems. Very often in some spicatas or veronicas (purple stalked flowersj, or the gerbers, or occassionally a mullein will split into two flower heads. I’ll see if I have the image of a sunflower that did it.

I've kept a keen eye out for doubles or other mutations, due to the frequency I would see them at. Another oddity or rarity for me, was a flatworm (fluke) found when I was double digging some rows deep for root crops.

I couldn’t locate the sunflower, but here is a calendula (pot marigold). It grew a flower out the middle of a flower.

It has rained most days since the stay at home order here. Bored, I post some possible replays. I look forward to sunflowers this year. Hoping to line a fence the neighbors installed with some mammoths. Teddy Bears, Baby Bears, nearer to the house.

Don't mind me-I like fractals and sacred geometry.
