Default A Freak Named Poly

I am growing some indoor tomatoes this winter, and one of the varieties I decided to grow was Stakeless, just because I had the seed.. and have never grown it before. So.. I planted a couple, and the first to pop up this morning to my surprise, is a polycotyledon, and not just an extra cotyledon either..this one has 4!! So folks, meet Poly, and try not to call her a freak. (She's sensitive)

On the same topic, I read somewhere that polar auxin transport is effected in these mutants and can change the leaf shapes, cause indeterminate flowering, and some weird physiological changes at different stages of the plant's life...So we will see if Poly gets any of these "unique" traits.
