Mutants In The Garden
Well not only has it been a surprise that it has rained today, after nearly a whole week of sunshine, I have found that I have a mutant plant growing in our back garden.
What is happening is that after the main flower on the Pot Marigold has finished and died away , out pop smaller mutant flowers from around the edge. I was a bit concerned about getting to close for this photograph, but I managed to escape unscathed.
However I'm a bit worried about going out tonight to do battle with the slugs, that this mutant might attack. If I don't post for a few days you know something has happened!!!!
Do you have any MUTANTS in your garden????

I haven't noticed many this year but had a few on my Rubekia last year (under the boring label of fasciation in my blog). These are great mutants in your photo...wonder where the Ninja Turtles are? ;o)
Hi :)
I have to look up the meaning of the word "mutants" first. ( I am not native English ) I quess we have them not.... This are bad things right? The make rotten your plants... No I think we have them not, I am pretty sure about that.
Beatiful type of flower...

Great photo! I love the color. My plants a re behaving so far this year.
Hi Ruth,
I would guess that they are partying with the slugs....
Hi Joann,
It is not a bad thing , it is me joking as it is not normal for smaller flowers to grow out of the original flower
Hi Laurie and Chris,
You carn't beat well behaved plants...
Cheers Mark
I am sure I do if I could get through the wild natives I have let grow this year.
Butterflies seem to love my weeds!
May you win the slug battle!

Hi Sherry,
Remember weeds are just flowers in the wrong place...I have just been out doing battle with the slugs and they seem to be getting bigger...perhaps the two are linked!!!!
Cheers Mark
Hi Mark, what kind of camera do you have? This picture is awesome.

I did laugh reading this!!! Thank you!
Be care Mark! Don't go out allone in the night and think always to take your watergun with you. Nobody knows...
Hi Mark,
Some of my chive flowers did this in the spring. The pretty pink flower started to die, and a tall green shoot came out of it with a bud on top, which then opened into a smaller pretty pink flower. I'd never seen anything like it... but now I have!

Hi Onada,

Hi Libby,
Thats the main thing, a chuckle a day is good for you.
Hi Claude,
I have taken your advice and i now go out armed with a Super soaker....just in case
Hi Ink and pen,
Welcome, it looks like the muntants are spreading, soon it could br the whole world, what do you reckon Capt Kirk would have done or is it something that the Klingons are responsible for.....
Hi Moi,
You are more than welcome to visit my virtual garden and have a nice cool glass of wine before your holidays are over.
