15 flowers aligned are forcing themselves into a torus.
Aren't megablooms usually always growing in every direction?

I have 8 Cherokee Purple. Every plant has a megabloom.

Every blossom on every plant of every variety has set fruit.
100+ tomatoes so far.
I flick every stem once a day.

I have never seen fruit inside a megabloom all line up like this. Usually they are popping out in 5 different directions. Do you ever get any like this?

I haven't looked at my 2017 diary for years. Maybe I should start some tomato seeds this year.......

Thats a nice tomato 3D, wish I had one like that. Isn't that what we used to call a caterpillar?

Wow, bnot... I gotta get me one of those.

Ya Kins, it does look like a caterpillar that's about to bite its own tail.
A different Cherokee Purple in a different pot is now putting out a very similar megabloom, with the flowers all lined up in a neat row.
I'm curious to see what these will turn into.
