Ok, while reading a "My plant looks retarded" thread, it suddenly hit me....people LOVE to see plants that are different. We've all seen a healthy plant thousands of times, in 1000's of pics (most of us anyway...), but people can't get enough of the strange and abnormal. SO, with that in mind, I give you.
The concept is simple. Genetically abnormal, or mutated plants. Find one? Snap a shot and post it. Have one already? Post it now. Any plant you think looks just.....weird....post it!
And the second category is, through any method available, sculpt and/or design your own plant. Make shapes, or just make chaos, it's great practice for anyone who participates, and those of us who don't, will at least have a good show.
Anyway, let the madness begin, the rules are as follows;
#1) No fucking up your plant on purpose just to post pics!! That's not the idea here. (You may be asking "Who would?" But you be surprised at what people will do to make other think they're cool,. you have to remember, while most of us are here to learn, there is absolutely a percentage or people who are here simply to post their pics so that others will tell me "Wow, look at those plants, your soooooo cooooooool!!!!" Maybe not JUST like that, but...you get the idea)
#2)Were looking for genetic defects, aborations, abnormalities, mutations, and the like. NOT simply plants that were messed up by over fertilizing. (Now plants that were messed up by over microwaving are ok, despite the fact that doing so would be a CLEAR violation of Rule #1.
#1) A special category, for plants that are not defective, but have been human manipulated. Reputation points will be awarded (by those who like your work, NOT BY RIU) to those who (through any use they desire ((grafting, training, topping, fimming, ect...))) are able to manipulate the plant into the most unique design or look. IN EXAMPLE; Training the topped plant into the shape of a heart or something....granted, that's a little stupid, but do anything you like, make it fun!
Thats the rules! Have fun!!
Personally, due to the destructive nature of these projects and concepts, i recommend you use males. I've always firmly believed, that as long as your not interested in pollen, and find a male plant in your garden, you shouldn't kill it....you should TEST ON IT
Males are good for experimenting on, topping, lsting, fimming, pruning, grafting, practice cloning, and so on. Or, use the leaves and make confections if you care to. I personally don't, but...the point is, males are still valuable to people who are learning. I'd suggest it to anyone whom takes their gardening more seriously then a passive hobby.
Anyway, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!
(ps; I posted it here cause I thought a few people might get a kick out of it. enjoy)
