Have you ever seen anything more vigorously uplifting? This is from a garden busy with flowering plants and succulents. It has precisely one of these. It was so pointy and erect that I couldn’t resist taking this picture. I have no idea what it is or why there is only one of them. But maybe the owner of the property saw something on a plastic tag at the nursery. Or maybe it was just an accident. I've found many examples of things blown uphill on an ocean breeze. It’s a mistake to suppose that everything is purposeful. And yet, perhaps even accidental things fulfill a purpose. This plant absolutely makes the garden. I’m willing to say, therefore, that perhaps that was its purpose.
