remontent

I'm not familiar with that word. It looks french...maybe something to do with rising? So is that perhaps like phototropism? Or perhaps redundant?

unexpected but welcome (my words) growth in a plant

Oh...I should keep reading. :)

In what context would growth be unexpected?

#84 ... sometimes a plant, a lilac, azalea, magnolia ... will produce blooms well beyond its normal flowering time. You might see a few lilac blooms in August, as an example.

There is no certified explanation, some think that the plant might be under some sort of stress though it usually presents no symptoms... a very clumsy sentence, that. Har!

Then there is fasciation ... *grin*

I'm up early because I have to get to work early. Good morning, all!!

Off I go ...
