Thanks Vic. It was a nice surprise watching it grow and waiting for the bloom. I knew it had to be something important to grow so tall on such a spindly stalk. One stalk, that's all there was, but unlike any other 'weed' that I was yanking up. So I didn't yank it, luckily. It's winding down now, but has been blooming for more than a month.
Yep, about friends.
