I would be worried about that.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Looks like they're confused - as are we :) One thing it proves though is that even the cells in the fruits themselves can still diferentuate.

Is it only one or two plants that are behaving like that or all of them, or one variety over another. Are they summer or everbearing strawbs?

We often see something similar with tomatoes when they grow a new shoot from the end of a truss don't we.

They do look mighty strange that's for sure. :o

Those are from two different plants of same variety..and I think they might be everbearing sort.

Could it be that because everbearing strawberries make far fewer runners than summer fruiting ones that these two plants, for whatever reason, have combined the fruit/runner production together.

It could be interesting to see what a rooted tip from one of these would ultimately produce. Although if it ended up bearing fruits/runners like these it's hard to see any benefit over "normal" types.

No idea, not sure if good to propagate from them or not!
I think the weather is confusing the plant world?

Wonder if they will ripen? I do not think that they will catch on at Wimbledon!

Might look good on the end of a stick to decorate a smoothie.

;D ..or Frankenstein cocktail.. ;D

Well..those strawberry plants are still stuck in water..I might just see what if anything will come out of it.
I doubt they would make into individual plants..they've been cut off from motherplant and there is no food source. The 'seed' are falling off from the 'strawberry part from slightest touch so those are not viable neither and there is not even a hint of where those little plantlets would push roots through, should they be able to root in first place.
It is freaky times for freaky plants.. ::)
