Each overly warm summer sees a thriving, stretching outward, in bundles of thin long fervent greens with tiny palest pastel blue bursts popping from each tip. Pushing in all directions boldly, like shooting firework stars of organic brightness. Wildly it demands more attention, attempting to dominate and strangle out its rooted companions. It seems to do so willfully, antagonistically, as if it wishes to be purposefully unfriendly while showing off its simple beauty, taking over territory, commanding presence. I have no idea what it is exactly, but I do find it to be attractively adorning the corner of the yard near our entrance, but it frustrates as well because of its blatant disregard for its neighbors, forcing us to yank its choking wrapping tendrils out from the branches of the other plants on a regular basis. When thinking about plants, one generally thinks of tranquility and docility in the idea of them, not of some possibly having a hostility to its surrounding living brethren.
