Perhaps some cultivars or possibly all of them are genetically 
unstable to some degree and fluctuations is temperature cause this. 
Paul, has your weather this year differed dramatically from the 
previous two years ?  Did you say this plant is growing in a 
neglected bed ?  This would shed light on the weather hypothesis.  If 
some sort of chemical reaction which determines appendage expression 
is occurring, heat could be accelerating the reaction.  As I've seen 
with some of the hydrogenations I used to run at work, temperature 
was always a critical factor.  Some reactions would go so fast at 
higher temperatures that I could literally over reduce the molecule 
creating an undesirable compound.  Something like this could be 
occurring on top of the micro nutrient theories.  

I interested in trying some of the more genetically stable plants 
that Mike Sutton is talking about.

For what it's worth, this is just mind babble at this point.
