    Fasciated flowers, where the appearance is of twins or more, are caused when the growing ti is damaged at some point, maybe by something as simple as an aphid bite.

     Please post any photos  that you have taken of any fasciations in your garden.

    Excellent @lyn.daisy :)
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Those markings are amazing 😊

    @pippamcclafferty A splendid example of foxglove fasciation!
    You are invited to a virtual visit of my garden (in English or in French).

    It is believed that the terminal flower is a mutation, it would be worth collecting the seed from that flower and growing on to see if it reproduces. A normal fasciation is caused by damage and not a mutation of the genetic material. Some others that are genetic are the Celosia cockscomb plant that is often grown as an ornamental house plant.
