Who new?

So these were at the house when we moved in...and I was like, ok whatever. I just figured it was like a cactus thing...then a week or so ago, something happened.

It grew this stalk thing in the middle of it.

And then it grew branches.....

And then those branches grew flowers....

What the crap?

And now it is oddly pretty. And quite fascinating.

What is this magical plant.

And this all happened in about a week.

Crazy Illinois wildlife.
