Desert Gardening, its hot! my fall is every one else's spring. Trying to follow organic principles, responsible water use and native plants to support a natural healthy lifestyle. I just want to grow my own vegetables, herbs and flowers without destroying anything in the process.

Growing Growing Mystery M2
M2 is getting bigger. Remember when she was only this tall Flowers all over. Yet not a single snack to eat. I still do not know a thing about this gal or what she might be. I think I am just going to let her get bigger and bigger and hopefully she will be identifiable one day.

Mystery Plant part Deux
and once again the garden is full of surprises, notably this one:
And not only is there another mystery plant, she is living WITH the other mystery plants. (in fact I think I spied a 3rd mystery plant in that corner but I just CANT with that right now). So while I still try to figure out my first mystery (no news on that front as of yet) we are on to M-2 as I like to call her.
| No seriously, what is this? |
And clearly she's a girl, she has bells, one of the first things I noticed as I attempted my sleuthing. Here's a shot:
It's a little blurry but those bells seem to house the flowers. The flowers are pretty, similar to okra in shape and with a small dark center. They only stay open for a day or so.
and have a beautiful "star" shape when they first open.
Now google images has gotten me some BEAUTIFUL yellow flowered plants but nothing quite like this. It has grown much faster than M-1 but there is only one of them, hopefully she can self pollinate and I will get to learn what this is. I have no weeds like her in the garden and so I must have planted her. I tried a leaf-not good- (and probably a habit I should stop).
