Another Strange mutation (Have you seen this before?)

Last year I grew the 4.5 cotyledon plant that grew true with 4 nodes per set.

This year I placed a few seeds of my olive green habanero. One sprouted quick and one followed about 1.5 weeks later, but the cotyledons are fused together into a cone. I been waiting to see the true leaves which come from the center normally. I just looked and see so true leaves yet in the center, but so far I see one leaf below the cotyledon. There's not another yet on the other side.

I will update you all with what happens with this plant.

Below is a pic about a week ago





These pics are from today. Look how far down where a true leaf is forming.



 
Thanks, it amazes me how widespread mutations are with peppers.

I'm curious to see how this plant matures to an adult. Instead of culling one as I always do with 2 plants in a pot, I will just carefully seperate them and give this 5150 plant it's own room.
 
Maybe an developemental problem , not a mutation.
It might have damaged the leaves while escaping the seed or ground.
Mutation implies that the genetic compound changed . Remember , mutations are common , but viable mutations are one in millions.

it reminds me of a song by Black Sabbath just add E before 5150  In Roman numerals, "V" represents 5, "I" represents 1 and "L" represents 50. Add the letter E in the front and you'll have the word EVIL   :onfire:  http://www.dio.net/faq/e5150.html
