Mr Piggy I meant no disrespect but in response to the original question posed in the thread -
Is this a hermit?
I have a plant that on each of the nodes just one balls looking thing with two pistils coming out are there.. What is this? Beginning of foxtailing or hermie?
The balls refered to are swollen calyxes which are flowers and not stipules, which whilst you are correct the stipules occur at the (axil) of the node, is not pertinent to the question posed.
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding.
Peace
