Gardening Riddle : Can You Guess Which Early Bird Plant Owns This Flower

englishtchrivy (72) in gardening • 7 years ago

Are you growing some greens? Then you probably know which plant owns this bud of buds. No, these buds aren't here yet but the plant that owns it are probably the ones that sprout first in your vegetable garden in Spring if you have them. These buds, they'd probably show up some time in May, if the weather here permits. Yes, that's when I took these pics last year.

Don't worry I haven't shared it anywhere at all. I wonder how many gardening authors could recognize this just by looking at it.

Go ahead, write it down in the reply section, am damn curious. Be honest ....

You ain't gardening? No worries, here's a clue to help you figure it out.

Leaves as innocent looking as that of the Butterbur's I may have, eat them not for they could send you to your grave.

My stem shall become pinker than pink with a boiling hot water encounter. The longer I bathe, sour than sour I shall become.

So, any idea which plant owns this as a flower? Unless you want that plant to thrive and spread all over your garden, you'd let this bud of buds bloom full blast like this. You may have already guessed that I actually rid them the day they turned like so cause I have a bunch of them already. They supply me more than I want to the point I got fed up with it but don't get me wrong I love abundance in any form.

Me, I love juicing this while most people would probably have it sugared cause ... hmm, you read that riddle haven't you? Thank you!

So ... Can You Guess Which Early Bird Plant Owns This Flower?

_{This content's 100% mine. All pics were taken with my Samsung galaxy A3 2016 edition. I took all those pics last year but they're mint because I haven't used nor posted them anywhere else. By the way the greened sentences, they're not really links as that tiny box beside it that suddenly existed seems to suggest.}

Yes, you are right. This plant grows around our young plants. people often call it Brocoli. there are even some farmers cultivate it because it is good for health.

Any rhubarb I have grown has always been pink and didn't turn more pink in hot water.

Rhubarb looks beautiful. I've never seen it before, as it doesn't grow in my hot climate. I too love abundance in any form. Right now collard greens are my abundance. Can't complain.

Glad for that but seriously, I don't even remember I've seen this and...
when you search on the 1st image, google tells you it's bud. OK, that's right at least.;-)
when you search on the 2nd image, google tells you it's broccoli.
when you search on the 3rd image, google tells you it's tree.

I as always was too late :). The correct answer was found. I'm telling you, rhubarb. I make Jam from the stems of this plant. It is very tasty to open such a jar in winter. In the summer I often cook a compote. It quenches thirst well in hot weather. We like its taste with a pleasant acidity. thank you!

I love it on a compote too
my husband loves the jam
but I used honey instead of sugar

This is a very clever post. I identified it as rhubarb which is my favorite pie by the way.
