There are more flowers to sniff.
It's not worth it - the are not scented. But at least they stayed in their flowerbed!
Während diese hier die Terrasse erobern. Gut dass sie groß genug für uns alle ist.
While these ones conquered the deck. It's good it's large enough for us all.
Mami! Die sind größer als ich!
Weiß irgend jemand, was das ist?
In the meantime, these monster plants popped out of the vegetable bed.
Mummy! They are taller than me!
Does anyone know what they are?
Kuchen für alle!
We all know this: it's giant rhubarb. Even the gnome looks overwhelmed by its hugeness.
Pie for everybody!
Plants never stay where they are meant too! They always want to get more space.
AntwortenLöschenThe plants with the white flowers looks like it could be a member of the Lily of the valley family.
Rhubarb.. yum yum and apples from the tree delicious :)
I was going to say Lily of the Valley too. They have a very pretty fragrance, and are virtually unstoppable once they get going. We all love Rhubarb pie here at Gregoropolis.
AntwortenLöschenThank you! When we were there, the blooms hadn't opened yet and there was no fragrance, but two weeks will make a difference. I only knew lilies of the valley from the forest, and they are much smaller...
AntwortenLöschenOoooh lovely! Rhubarb pie! I haven't had rhubarb pie in a long time. I heard that people are banned from growing rhubarb here because it's poisonous for goats....I don't know true it is, I really should investigate on Google but it certainly makes rhubarb a rarity here anyway!

A friend now found the botanical name of the monster plant: It's polygonatum multiflorum, aka Solomon's seal, and it is indeed related to the lily of the valley.
