Back in the spring, I got all my containers prepared for flower planting and it turned out I didn't have enough flowers to fill all the containers I had ready. So I had two planters that just had dirt in them, and I was planning to buy some more flowers the next weekend.

The next weekend, I found out I was pregnant. I had already started to feel a bit tired, but by the time I found out, I was exhausted. Work was busy and I was reeling with my news and planting flowers was the last thing on my mind.

Time went by and I still didn't have any flowers planted, but I noticed two distinctly different crops of weeds were growing in my two containers. One batch of weeds was particularly interesting, so I decided to just keep an eye on them.

A couple of weeks ago, the weeds had grown so big and so interesting that I decided to weed out the other kinds of weeds from the container, start watering them, and see what they developed into.

In the last few days, they've started developing something that looks like large flower buds. I was starting to suspect that perhaps they were some volunteer sundials, as the foliage looked similar.

But then I noticed tiny tendrils were growing, and on the ends of a few of these tiny tendrils were some minuscule purple flowers.

I'm now stumped. Every day I come home from work and check on my weeds to see if they'll ever reveal what they actually are. They've quickly become much more interesting than the flowers I intentionally planted. I can only hope there will be a satisfying conclusion to this cultivation conundrum.
