Hello reader, are you ready?
The race is on.
I vaguely remember planting this a few years back and had given up on it. Then it bloomed last year as a um, I guess, pleasant surprise?
Well it’s back again and it doesn’t fit in at all in its current location. And the flower is kind of ugly and ok, fine, I don’t like it. But I can’t just dump it, right?
Sorry, the race.
What the hell is the name of this? I feel like …
I swear on my children I just thought of the name. So funny. I was going to say the word “bone” or “hood” was in it and that prompted the answer:
It’s Monkshood.
Sorry to have fired you up to only let you down. But since you’re here, do I have your permission to remove it? Anyone want it?
I think it is quite lovely, and this late in the season little surprises are most welcome wherever they pop up! Just enjoy it…it will soon be frozen!
I would keep it.
