I was told this may not be multi flora. I am confused now but it is definitely a micro!
Don't let that worry you, I'm usually confused.

In my experience, sometimes the first inflorescence doesn't show very heavy multiflora and later ones do. Also, some plants seem to be, to use scientific terms, 'kinda' multiflora and others are 'way' multiflora. Instead of being either one extreme or the other, they seem to come in a continuum that ranges from extreme multiflora to those that could be described either way.

If the multiflora trait is actually controlled by a recessive gene, the ones you have should be multiflora. Here is a photo of its mama - 53X-F2-2. I didn't count blossoms or fruits or leaf nodes between inflorescences, but i call this one multiflora. If yours turns out not to be multiflora, I'll have to reexamine my notions about what controls the multiflora trait.
