Higher levels of soil nutrients (increased fertilization) will cause the leaves to become larger, more rugose and a darker green.

That does sound like a wise statement in my ears , when I say wrinkly that would be the same as rugose ?
ru·gose
adjective
1. having wrinkles; wrinkled; ridged.
2. Botany . rough and wrinkled: applied to leaves in which the reticulate venation is very prominent beneath, with corresponding creases on the upper side.

Thank you Bob for the valuable information.
Besides that I must admit that I dedicate a hole lot of my RusticaGrow to The One And Only , Knucklehead .
Without his help this patch of mine with these outstanding plants wouldn't have been possible.
I could hardly believe it was true the day the seeds arrived in my mailbox , got Ants in my pants when I saw that envelope on the floor.
( Said to myself : Its them seeds man ! )
Talk about a full satisfaction.
From the bottom of my heart , Thank You Very Much Knuck !
I owe you.

I do have to admit to that I have been lying to those who belived me when I said that Kungshamn is a place up the eastern coast.
A friend told me 'bout it and added that I was way way way out of bounce too.......
It is just a short drive from where he lives and that is on The WestCoast........
I have travelled more abroad than back home here , so it mite not be too that strange that I was 350-400 km out of bounce.
From coast to coast..........

You're getting a pay raise! You should really send them a thank you note, or at least wave at them with one finger raised.

If you add a new wrinkle, would that be rugose.

I haven't got the faintest idea BarG , but with a little bit of imagination one could perhaps use rugose as a subterfuge to gettn wrinkly ?
If someone say that I'm gettn wrinkly , I could just reply that its not wrinkles , its rugose.....
That should leave that feller standin there with a long face , I reckon
One has to be prepared , sort of be ahead of the one u're talkin to.........
That is an art in it self , being able to do that I figure.

Been thinkin 'bout that question of yours Bob in different occasions , but today being out on the patch suckering , it was just like someone stuck a knife in me saying at the same time that this variety is The TW 117.
Can't bet on it , but remember being very picky when we had the ARS-GRIN Seed Request , was looking for plants with the absolutely biggest leaves there was to choice from.
Also remember that The GC 1 from India was my numero uno ( 1 ) choice and that TW 117 was my numero due ( 2 ) choice.
ARS-GRIN TW 117 My TW 117 ?
Now when comparing the 2 of them like this , I can't see any resemblance at all , mine is a hole lot more wrinkly than The GRIN one
My leaves are like a plateshaped leaf compared to GRIN'S.
Well , its the best I can do for now anyhow , at least I tried.
Could it be that it performs different over here ?
A new peak has been measured today , it is somewhere inbetween 42-43 cm wide on this very plant ( 16 47/64 inches )
That kind of looks like Red russian or similar. Although the flowers would be Red. By the way, it looks fantastic to me! There's plenty of filler, wrapper in spite of problems.

When it comes down to that NittyCRitty stuff , he or she wants to sit on top of me , but we can't allow them to do that.
Here we come in and rephase the the sort of accusation they are making upon us.
Have to be quicker than a weasel and faster to draw than Virgil Earp and then we shot the new phrase at them just like this : You're completley outta bounce sonny ( or kiddo ) , this here is a finer type of wrinkle namned rugose........Bang , they're dead.

I can tell I am going to have a hard time with this one! A spit of tobaccy on somethin might be a wrinkle. Ole clint don't like the carpetbagger.

So would I BarG , I mean that 'ole Clint would not let That Salesman sit on him.
Botanists like the term, "rugose," for wrinkles.
On the other hand, horticulturists describe a wrinkled vegetable leaf (say, a wrinkled cabbage leaf) as "Savoy." Many cabbage varieties are smooth. Some are Savoy cabbage.
I suspect it is named after the boundary region between France and Italy (or maybe the Italian royal house of Savoy). But the term appears now in horticultural descriptions of other leafy vegetables that are wrinkled.
Am I rugose, or am I Savoyed?
If I'm Savoyed, then I'm a very rugose Savoy.

BarG , the other day I was confrounted with a guy I know a bit , he said to me : How in the h--- do you look ? ( He wanted to sit on me )
I said : How do u mean ?
He said : You're black all over your mouth and lips . ( He tried one more time )
He was shoot right in the ears/mouth with this bullet : You got this all backwards sonny , this is the way it should be lookin' , the snus is juicing and I'm truly satisfied. He said nothing more
He'd never used snus , so what would he know ? It was just like bein on the freeway runnin him over with a truck.......
