No wonder, they're kinda tucked away and hard to spot.
And not particularly attractive either. They look a little like a grain that I should be harvesting. Or a creature's claw reaching out to grab an unsuspecting gardener.
If I remember right, from last time, they do open a bit more from here, but not much. Garden Bloggers Bloomday is coming up this Friday, the 15th, so I'll check back.
It takes all kinds, right? What's the most unattractive, unflower-like bloom that's appeared in your garden?

Hmmm, now i am going to have to closely monitor everything trying to see who is the ugly duckling in my garden.
ReplyDeleteYou can have more than one...
DeleteIt's "interesting." If you get seeds, I wonder how hard it is to propagate the plant? If it doesn't require you to do cartwheels, ugly may be beautiful (inside)! I don't care for the flowers my Lomandras produce.
ReplyDeleteInteresting is a good word choice.
DeleteMother Nature probably didn't think of us as the target audience to it's blooms. Don't really have anything outdoors with unattractive blooms but indoors I would say my peperomia.
ReplyDeleteSo true, doesn't matter what we think. It's all about the foliage anyway...
DeleteGood question. I will have to think about an answer.
