My foxtail fern (I would have posted this in the fern forum but there are folks there who get very upset and say "It is NOT and fern".....and they are right....but that IS the common name) has apparently had a shock and grown an aberrant white streak. Isn't this cool? I have no idea what caused it but it looks quite healthy, just dead-white.
I love that!!!! Wonder where it came from?

I'd love to hear others opinions on how this happened. This is a plant I have had for maybe 15 years. I transplanted maybe 9 mos ago into a slightly larger pot. And I just moved it to this new location a month ago. I think it's interesting that it's such a clean line....only the top portion of the stem affected. And again, there's nothing unhealthy. The plant in general is growing like crazy and healthy as can be. I want to name her Lily (as in Munster)
What a pleasant surprise of nature you got here!
That is just so cool. I love the look. I wonder what would happen if you took a clipping of it and started another plant.
I'll be watching to see if it changes in any way. Can you propagate asparagus from cuttings?
I am not sure if you can do cuttings. It seems that most of the things that you can do cuttings off you can layer. That seems safer to me, but I have not yet successfully cuttings.
stella, I have one of these and it has little white blooms here and there but that looks like the leaves. Very interesting. Bev
Hi,
I have these in my yard. Yours look like either someone took a paint brush and brushed it against it or there was a physical structure that prevented that part to get sunlight!!
usually since these are bulbs, it is easier to divide the plants to propagate.
Since that's the only stem that has shown up this way so far do you think separating the bulb that it originates from would recreate this? I'd love to see a plant with all of the stems so clearly white/green. It's been over a month and nothing has changed.
sure. May be you will have more for next Halloween!!LOL
update on this plant?
Interesting you should mention it. I worked in that part of the garden today and thought that I'm about two yards away from that plant. I'll finish the weeding and such, spend some serious time with that one and let you know tomorrow what I see.
If you ever get it to actually spread with the white I would love a small plant.
Ill trade whatever I have that you may want.
