I have a 'Fame Monstrose', which suffered a few months, because of too much moisture and maggots at the roots. I repotted in a permeable soil and the plant recovered.
One can see the development during over a year. Dates given with the pictures (day/month/year). Each picture same plant.

Wolfgang that would be a wonderful photo collage to add to the database. I see yours also morphs in and out of the Monstrose form.

o.k., Lynn; I'll correct the wrong date and add to the ATP database.

Hi, Greg.
I have another Fame Monstrose, which changed shape of leaves. First it was typical for Fame Monstrose, then it got normal leaves; and now in the center monstrose leaves are there again.

Hi, Greg. There are some more cool things.

I have a cultivar in my collection, named 'Dunstan'. Hybridizer was Len A. Earl ( GB ),1961

Here the normal 'Dunstan':

I didn't see any monstrose rosettes this morning. Last fall there were about 5 of them. We will see what happens this spring.
