One plant's evolution of form: Sans bella 'Mutomo'

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.

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.

Be nice to it, lest it come for you in your sleep one night...
