I tried a few other cultivars because I couldn't find my original one for a couple of years .. they were not up to snuff at all.
So I was too happy to finally find the right one this past Spring .. I planted it in just about the same spot as my previous love .. hoping that it would take to its new home. Well it did more than that .. it shot off like a rocket .. I had never seen one so tall as it was getting. I panicked ... thinking that if we had bad wind and rains this new love would be battered and spoiled. So I pinched it back .. thinking it would be sturdier (this cultivar is very sturdy on its one usually) .. and now look what I have created.
Alien heads ... you can't tell me they don't look like the head of that "Alien" movie .. They popped up in the plant structure so oddly I have a hard time looking at it, let alone taking pictures .. so if anyone has ever had this happen to them .. please tell me I'm not going to have that "squid kid" burst out of my chest ????

Wow - guess I should try pinching back next year. Mine are also just beginning to bloom and they are gorgeous.
Hi there "A" ? LOL
I normally would not have done the pinching back thing .. this guy is usually fine with its own timetable and structure .. but wow ! how weird the flower heads are looking, has me wondering ? : )
Joy this is too funny. You have the most vivid imagination:)
Debbie .. I can say the same thing about you girl ! .. anymore sock eating buggie life forms biting you guys in bed ?? hahaha .. I still shudder over that one !
I have no idea Joy, mine up & died on me this past spring after not being very prolific in its' blooms for 5 years.
