Yeah, not sure what it's called but she's still grows from every aureole. Can't wait to see how she looks in a few years!

I've seen similar (not quite so extreme) profound puppage from introducing a BAP laden paste. Maybe some gnomes pranked you?

I saved her from a compost pile from a fellow collector so that could be a possibility. But it's been a year since I saved her from the pile, if BAP was used on her would it still be in her system a year later? I would ask him if he ever used it but he moved. Does BAP stop growth from the top?
