Waiting...

I keep waiting to see if the dog-fennel is going to bloom. Looks like knots on some of the stems. Might happen before long.

Great focus, keep us posted with some follow up shots on their development.

What a strange name for something edible. Hoping it blooms soon so that I can see what it looks like.

@ludwigsdiana I don't think it's like regular fennel. We'll see soon. =)

@ludwigsdiana The dog-fennel contains liver-damaging alkaloids. I found this fascinating article here - https://vnps.org/johnclayton/2015/10/22/dog-fennel-september-wildflower-of-the-month/ and this one about its history here - https://scnps.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Dog-Fennel.pdf
