    Perhaps a fasciated form of V. longifolia 'Christa' which has a green Coxcombe on the tip of the flower spike?

    There was a big block, some normal, some a bit fasciated and this monster.

    That could be interesting if you let it grow. What sort of flower could that have?

    @vivienne,

    Interesting, but... it's a pity your photo is blurred and it is not clear at all from that photo that this is a "Wisteria tendril", as the background shows Clematis, not Wisteria. Could you please post more and better focused photos so we can really see that fasciation? Thanks.

    Amaryllis. It took a while to get going, but the flattened stem was about three times as wide as usual, and there was 15 individual flowers at the finish. It flowered for four weeks.

    A most interesting example, fidget, thanks!

    We have found an aberrant peloric terminal flower on one of our foxgloves this year. 

    I wish the gene was not ressesive!
