pink stick!!

There are these unique, awesome plants all over north texas that I love, and I decided to plant one in the front garden beds almost 3 years ago.  The part I love the most is the long stick that can grow up to 6 feet high, and has pink flowers at the end!  Mine started small with green pointed leaves, low to the ground, and didn't have a flower on it...yet.   I have been waiting and waiting...it has been doing it's thing, with no noticeable change, but when I went to mow the yard a few days ago, a long pink stick with the signature pink flower buds just suddenly showed up! check it out...

 

I am so excited my green thumb is still working. :)
