Natalie said:LOVE the foxglove next to it! Is that Monarda next to the foxglove? I love those two plants! It's kind of hard to tell what the other one is because I can't turn my eyes away from the hot poker! Hilarious!

I went out to see if there were possibly any new stalks coming up on mine, and I didn't notice any. I did notice this cute little bump growing from the stalk though! Any idea if I can break that off and plant it?

These little green things are also growing along the stalk. Not sure if the little bump started out as one of these or not, since I never noticed it growing to begin with. It really is hard to pull your eyes away from the bloom!

As I was standing up from taking the pictures, one of the dogs decided to bump into me, and I almost landed in the plant. Good thing that happened, because look what I found! Hurray!

Exciting to see new buds! Hurray! The growth on the first photo are also flowers..don't break them off..those will mature further and bloom too, like secondary blooms on a stalk. My plant had that similar growth this year:
