Deformed phal

[Jeff214]

Not sure anyone's still here since the boards gone down... But I'll post anyway.

My phal (noid) has produced a deformed flower. Thought it was interesting to share. I'm assuming this is just a one time thing caused by abberant growth.

Both interesting and bizarre. I can think of a bunch of different factors which could cause it.

I love deformed flowers, they're so weird

I love it! It's awesome when this happens. I wish that there were plants that only produced deformed flowers.

There are! Pelorics.

and then there were two... petals left on the next one that opened up.

OH MY GOD. I JUST SEARCHED THAT ON GOOGLE IT'S AMAZING. How do I "make" my own peloric/mutation? Just plant a gazillion seeds? Should I expose them to radiation? (lol no just kidding)

*sigh* Since I'm in Indonesia import is super expensive and the local nurseries don't have pelorics, maybe thrice in a blue moon.
