Fused stems, fasciated, mega extreme...

This has been bizarre to watch. Two plants, same variety, same mega right in the
middle of the growing tip. Same height, 4ft. I almost aborted them but no rush for
their growing space. (Dwarfs) A few suckers in the crotch up the stems but never
developed more than 1/8th inch.
Both aborted their mega blooms (yay!) and both formed a 'firework' display of small fruit.
(I wish I had set up a time-lapse)

Last pic is this morning with the mega blooms brown and crusty.

Another odd one that has pulled out of its troubles. It is now nearly identical to
three others from the same packet.
(different variety than the above)

Your July 4 pics look like a tomato flower fireworks display.

Really cute... the mega bloom was like a whole cluster fused together!
