Didn’t know if It was a weed or a flower that hadn’t had a chance to bloom yet.
But, whatever, it was b-i-g.
::<>::<>::<>::<>::
We have had our share of rain and sultry heat – annnd I did use Miracle Grow . . .
At first, I was thinking: Marigold leaves.
But as the stem thickened and grew up-up-up, Saw Man just laughed that it was a hitch-hiking weed in my flower pot left by an errant robin.
So . . . we decided to let nature take its course and see what would happen.
The stem got to be as thick as my finger and grew to about two feet (61 cm) tall!
The buds were huge.
“Something” was about to bloom.
It was a Marigold! Albeit, a Mutant Marigold.
Check out the size of these Mutant Marigold blooms compared to a normal Marigold (and the size of my hand)!
Ridiculously funny.
The shells in the background are about 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) for reference.
LOL, so now I have to listen to SM snicker about the size of that robin : \
Have a good week! – – Joanne
