Dr. Hansen strikes again

Several trees, shrubs and hedges all over Denmark has started to look very peculiar. “Its something with their leaves”, says a well known scientist and vine brewer. A gardener from the botanical garden comments: “Wow! Those looks like the leaves of the notorious Brugmansia Quinde", but when asked what a Quinde was, he said that he neither could not say, if it was an aurea or a candida.

Police and authorities are in that connection looking for witnesses, that has seen an evil Doctor wearing an evil, brown, chemical trench coat. He was last seen in a village in the heart of Colombia back in the fifties and as the hedges there also got this same strange look, but only after the presence of this man, police like to have a word with him.

Dr. Hansen hit in cottage village

The evil Dr. Hansen hits again. This time in a small cottage village in southern Denmark. When Dr. Hansen not on the polices request meet up for questioning, that had to start a major search all through the Country. The authorities tried to foresee, where he would hit again after the last time, where he was talking about challenging nature in its mysterious ways, but even though FBI made a permanent profile of the DR. they was not lucky.

We had a reporter send to the cottage village:

We are standing outside a small, idyllic cottage house at the entrance to Radsted City. Here, behind the hedges, that look so weird and twisted, lives another Hansen, that farm Brugs.
“I saw this phenomenon first time in May”, tell Brugfarmer Hansen. On a question, if this not scares him he answered to our surprise:” No, not the least bit. I still kick my behind that I didn’t get all my Brugs out there, when all this was happening”.
We asked why: “I and my wife would have been world famous”, he said a little bitter, and ”Do you realise that we would have had an entirely new Sibondoy Valley here in the heart in southern Denmark? And that this would have been a (dirty-work miracle?”
When I worried asked him, if he was not scared by having the other Hansen running around free, he just send me a peculiar look and asked: ”Okay! Say, where can I meet him?”

Scary meanings from a Brugfarmer in Denmark, especially when you tske in consideration what the evil Dr. Hansen did to several of the hedges arounf the Brugfarm. Here is a few photo reportages to scare you:

The first is the Brug farms apple tree. Here is what Dr. Hansen did not see. A fine branch and the leaves completely normal.

Here is the scary picture of another branch on that tree that suffers from "quintification".

The weeds around the farm did not remain unseen by the sharp eye of the evil doc. Here is a local artemisa variety. This looks normal:

This has been quintified.

A syracus to scare you, but this one is normal.

But this one =:O

Whitethorn. This is white torn leaves.

This was white torn leaves. Now they have been quintified. "Its not about quality, but quintity", said the Brugfarmer Hansen to this one.

Snowberry. Look at these fine, large healthy leaves.

And then this :O The evil Dr. Hansen did not only quintified this one, he also ...

Muchiratiated the sister branch. Where will it end? Where will it end?

Are those seedlings of yours or the real deal so to speak. Most excellent in any case. Those pictures remind me of a varigated Culebra sport I once saw. Very nice.

I think the evil Dr Hansen has been sniffing the brug flowers too long, lol.

I think so to Cala. He needs to come back and explain himself. Now I am curious!

sniffin heck? --tonny what you been brewing in your tea these days?----bakery my foot--you been in the coffee shops lol --used to want to go to one of those in holland when i was a kid.....for the tuplips really--- lol

Tonny has gone over the edge! LOL

No, that is not Brugmansias at all and there is no Brug tea involved. There sticks a story to it and a head full of questions:

I am just wondering about how Brug quinde and Brug culebra got their special leaf shapes *lol*

In the spring Lene and I discovered several branch mutations on different hedges, on the apple trees, the birch trees and those leaves on the branch mutations resembled mostly those also found on Quinde and in one single instance those on Muchira.

Now, we wondered a lot about, how those mutations came by as we did not make them ourselves.

We found these only on the hedges that turned out towards the corn field with exception of one apple tree that is in the dogs garden.

We took several branches, both normal and mutated to Lars wife in the garden center and she thought it could be some kind of fungus living on Junipericus, or that it could be from spraying the corn field with herbicide against dicotyleons and that our hedges had only got dusted a tiny bit.

I am seeking for patterns here to at least point in what direction we might look to explain quinde, Muchira, Salman and culebra leafshapes and think, that by posting those pictures here that one of you maybe can explain what happened to the white thorn, apple tree etc. because whatever happened, it caused lack of normal leaf flesh formation.

I was looking for similar patterns when there suddenly was reports from Germany and US about shredded Jam. Yellow and a few other hybrids, but there was not info enough on specific dates of these occurences to connect to any specific event such as the France test nuclear bombings or other similar events.

???

Tonny,
The Shredded Jamican Yellow turned out to be just a heat thing.....it came from my house but as the weather got cooler the plant bloomed more normal. No special mystery here. LOL Here is a picture of what was known as Shredded J Yellow.

Ludger, how wonderful to see, that you are still here :D The story in the thread is quite simple. I found mutated branches on most all my hedge plants and on two old apple trees and ask, if the mutations is caused by fungus attack or caused by a herbicide. I used a funny story to ask those two questions :D

Thanks, Gloria :D ... and for posting the picture too :) Its wonderful what a little unusual heat can do. In this case a lesser change in climate made this flower unrecogniceable :D

It could be from the herbicide. I had sprayed along a rose circle with a grass killer and even though I thought I was careful not to touch the roses, the next spring as they leafed out the leaves were distorted. It took a long search on google to figure out what was wrong. They all outgrew the damage. Thank goodness.

Bill ruined a couple of my daylilies a few years ago with herbicide. They grew weird leaves for one whole season.

Thanks for your input Kell. I think that you are right. Good Graceness that your roses recovered :) I love roses too and will see tomorrow is there is any in bloom worth to post. Sometimes when I am out in the Brug garden to late or work to late on the computer and Lene is asleep I use to go out in the garden a find a beautiful buquet (not bucket) rose to put in a glass on her bedside table with a little note on :)

btw. I will tag the mutated branches to see if they recover later or maybe next year :)

Tonny,
I've had lots of brugs put out mutated leaves due to over use of systemic fungicides. One notices that such leaves are generally much thicker than your normal leaves and distorted as well in general shape. It has never lasted very long in my brugs, but perhaps if one were to try to force a mutation by using a bit more....that might work.

They do use weedkillers to force genetic mutations invitro and sometimes with just germinated seedlings.

awwwwwwwwwww how sweet Tonny----sometimes when I pack my hubbys lunch I pick a rose wrap the bottom in wet tissue and foil and tuck in a plast bag,-----he told me later that they make a centerpiece for the table while they eat lunch, and play cards. You know---I think gardeners have to be the most romantic ppl I know-----any one else noticed this trait in their friends that garden?

Cheryl, how must he love packing his lunch. He is just so lucky to have found you :D :D

I can see you doing that also Tonny. You have that romantic side to you! You are so sweet Play!
