Occasionally, gardeners will find a plant that is displaying very strange growth on a portion of the plant, like a plant has a flower that looks like two flowers pushed together like twins. Fasciation is described as abnormal fusion and flattening of plant organs. The growing tip or apical meristem of the plant, which normally produces cylindrical tissue, instead becomes elongated perpendicularly to the direction of the growth or it splays out to the sides. Fasciation could cause plant parts to increase in weight and volume. There is often a concentration of leaf or flower buds in the area with fasciation. Consider it a plant mistake.
