Here's the Mystery Plant update for the day, and I'm going to have to report not much change since yesterday, except that it appears that the bud is apparently just starting to unfold oh so slightly. Nothing dramatic is evident yet, but maybe tomorrow there will be more definitive signs that the show is on the way ... SO, in lieu of taking yet another shot of basically the same view as yesterday, I decided to put up one of the purple Columbine currently blooming in the front boulder bed. This shot was taken using the flash, so it does manage to give a better sense of detail, yet compromises (just a bit) the depth of purple evident in this bloom (see the following post for more representative examples of this plant).
In any case, the bloom watch continues for the Mystery Plant and when things really start to take off, you'll see it first here (where else would you see it, if you don't have this in your own garden?). Yes, we're impatient to see it bloom, but it's going to have to take its time to achieve its aim, so we'll just have to give it the time to prepare itself for the eventual display ....

LOL, so much pressure on one little plant ... ;)
Ya know I don't know a thing about plants, but when you have under Labels: Columbine, Mystery Plant, I wonder.
LOL FM!
LOL, FM... guess you're right on that one... this is a columbine of course! Hang tight on the Mystery Plant because it's gearing up to wow the world and stench it up just a wee bit ... rest assured that readers of Urban Oasis will most likely see it in its glory before the rest of the world!
BTW, we're planning on planting 3-4 more of them this coming fall ... just think what that will look like when it all gets going? We may end up cursing ourselves for being so esoteric, lol.
Think of the odour too! Hehe
