Completely encrusted plug (for real)

[mrnewberry]

I picked up a frag at a local swap this weekend and noticed something interesting when I got home. This sucker has grown all the way around the frag plug including the sides and bottom of the stem.

Cut off the stem and then glue the stem to another plug. Almost like a 2 for 1.

I cut the stem off and then cut it in half lengthwise. Or well something like half. I was using wire cutters after all. That way I could lay it down.

That thing spent a loong time on the frag rack.
