Yep, I also find that really fascinating. But I'm not sure if I'd look at such plants as the same one - yeah, they are technically the same genetically, but somehow my mind likes to think of them in terms of roots when determining where the 'borders' of individuals end - so if it's a cutting that grew its own roots and continued living with the help of those, I usually think of it as a new plant, a 'child' plant. And I definitely wouldn't consider the 'mother' plant's age when determining how old the plant is - especially because that previous plant might also have started as a cutting too, and I have no clue how old its 'mother' plant was and if it was a cutting, or grew from seeds.
