We planted this Angelica plant in our garden last year, not really knowing how big it would grow, whether it would like its location, if it would flower etc. This is generally our approach to gardening - it's all a bit of an experiment from the point of almost complete ignorance! Anyway, the result is that the plant has become treelike in its proportions. It clearly likes its place in our back garden and it is absolutely thriving. Its latest surprise for us is that it looks like we're going to get flowers. I've no idea what they're going to look like, but it's exciting, isn't it?

I agree - definitely a bit alien like!

I wonder what the kids make of it?

I love that thought, My Whimsy :-)

Everyone that sees it comments on it's alien-like quality, Wonderwebby. It is such a strangely beautiful plant.

Thanks Alena!

The kids call it 'The Triffid'. I think that maybe says it all!

Reminds me of the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. Is it related to the confectionary angelica?
