I have a couple tomato plants that are changing over time- perhaps from replicating DNA or something. Every time a sucker emerges the leaves appear to be a little bit different. In any case- the flowers have become exceptionally long. Some are getting longer than those in the pictures. The soil is a bit too acidic. In any case, should I be concerned/ is there any problem with these long flowers? Attachments:

One would think the most likely scenario for changes is genetic going back a generation or two.

I agree with swampr but I think it's neat. The fun is to see what you end up with and how it grows and tastes. You don't like it, start over again. I don't seem to have cool stuff like that happen.

Have any fused blossoms yet? Those are really weird.

Mule- That is really interesting. Perhaps that is why my plants have been doing that- and it is all the plants of one variety that are doing so. I figured that they would still set fruit but I was never able to find out because all my plants got hit hard by hornworm moths during my 2 1/2 week vacation!
