Tania,

Yes, there is certainly an unusual leaf structure, but it is not nearly as carrot-like as the SFT that I've grown. The leaf lobes (if you want to call them that) are much smaller and thinner on the SFT that I've grown. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the plants I've grown.

I think the reason for the difference may be the age of the plant. Early on in the growing season, the plants are very carrot-like, but as they get older and the leaves grow a bit more, I think one may find leaves similar to Rena's picture. I just googled SFT and found pictures of plants that appeared to have both the very carrot-like leaves and the larger leaves that are consistent with Rena's picture.
