I couldn't find a posting about weird or unusual growth on plants just some questions about about individual plants. So.... post some pictures and comments here.
For instance the the odd color and shape of this desert rose, Adenium obesum is caused by a virus.

This is a crested Euphorbia lactea

More unusual growth.

Cristate growth on an Adenium Thumb of 2021-08-12/Wildbloomers/c8656b
This is on a Euphorbia viguerii. Don't know what caused it but no bug in there when I pried it open
Thumb of 2021-08-12/Wildbloomers/22bf28
This is normal growth but weird looking. An unripe seed pod on Uncarina roesliana
Thumb of 2021-08-12/Wildbloomers/c21263
Variegation on a normally spotted plant. Drimiopsis botryoides, formerly kirkii. Some authorities place this under Ledebouria. Thumb of 2021-08-12/Wildbloomers/71a54f

I like oddness too! Love your interesting pics!

A Caladium of mine sprouted a weird leaf recently:
https://garden.org/thread/go/1...

This Rex Begonia leaf was put in water. It has grown roots and is starting to make 1 or more new leaves from the middle of the original leaf. Apparently this is pretty common for rhizomatous Begonias, but it was my 1st time seeing it.

Many years ago I planted seeds from a Zamia furfuracea that was growing in my yard. ONE of the resulting seedlings had fringed or serrated edges to the leaflets. It may be a hybrid (people in Florida landscape with Zamia pumila, floridana and pygmaea as well as Cycas circinalis and revoluta or it could be a mutation (some furfuracea do have slightly fringed edges but not like this guy. Yes it's a male plant.
These are prickles on the stems

Difficult to believe but both these plants are the same genus and species, just different cultivars. Dracaena (sansevieria) ehrenbergii

Here's a weird thing, Dorstenia hildebrandtii with cristate flowers (technically a hypanthodium) growing right out of the leaf mid vein as well as normal flowers growing from the normal place, the leaf petioles/stem joint

Daylily...faciation at the bottom...flower branching seperated by itself...looked like it would be okay...but flower had a double set of everything.

This iris actually developed the seed pod before the flower...I waited too long to take the picture.
