Good photo record of one specimen's evolution of form over the 4 years I've had it. I've moved it from one spot to another 3 times, but otherwise an unaltered plant. No sunburn, no leaves hacked, no stolons removed.
About a month after arrival 2013 Wide channels
Year later - channels not so wide anymore
Another year - wow, stolons from every direction
Again (another year) - and a stolon propagate has a stolon! Note the channels too - some leaves very little channel showing; pretty much a gap from where a new leaf springs forth, and that's about it.
And present

Too cool. I love that third picture with the explosion of pups. You could do a really cool time-lapse piece with these guys I bet.

This is like the big bang theory. Less evolution and more expansive explosion. I believe if precise measurements were taken to account for energy/matter conversion and expansion rate, dark matter and dark energy would have to be introduced to balance the Sans scales.
