it looked lik three daisies in one. it had one thick flat stem instead of a round one and the flower looked as though it had three heads in one. cant explain it very well, but should i just throw it out or would someone in the horticultural industry be excited by this? if so what do i do? no daft answers please this is actually a serious question. and yes i will report for point gaming.

so for those offended by my wises to have a serious answer, but when you have asked a serious question then been ridiculed by idiots then it does get a bit waring. thank you so much to those who have answered me seriously.

So far your answers have been daft!
I really don't know, but I would get on line and find someone that might be interested. Take some pictures of different angles. Also if you have any horticulturists in your area check that out. Then check out the garden centers. I know that in the animal kingdom they have physical and mental challenges the same as us humans, so why not plants.

Types of mutations and their effects
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/mutations.html#types
Mutations are changes in the genome (genetic constitution). There are quite a number of ways in which mutations can happen. They also differ in the way that they impact evolution.
In many groups of species, particularly among plants, genes are transferred from to one species to another via hybrids.

Plants mutate all the time and whilst this may not be of interest to many people, some others could find this fascinating - particularly schools and colleges teaching botany or genetics. I would carefully pick the flower and as much of the surrounding foliage as possible, place it carefully between 2 sheets of newspaper and place a few heavy books on top until the flower is pressed - that way it will be preserved for those who are interested in it. I'd contact the nearest botanical gardens or academic institute to see if anyone wants to see this.

See if you have a state Aboretum and contact someone there to find out if it is of any interest. If there are no environmental factors involved then it could be, but I don't know.

its a long shot but you could keep it- if you have plucked it then leave it to air dry naturally, -better still leave it in the ground, then email the national history museum here in London, or try your local university to see if they have any horticultural study courses and then see if they have a research team.

I'd only be concerned if it grew to 25 feet tall and tried to suck my brains out.
Additional. So you think it is a mutated plant, eh? But have you tried to look it up in a botanical reference book?
I don't think so. Just because you have not seen one before, it doesn't mean its unusual.
