Looks like the growth tip has triple the number of stems growing as one:



By comparison... Here's a normal one from the same plant:

Wow, awesome!

Fasciation.

Definitely keep your eye on that and grow it out, definitely a desired mutation for a lot of cultivars in the nursery trade.  Can get really interesting flowering formation. 

Congratulations

You think it might be from the nuclear waste dump site my house is built on?
