🤸 It's alive! 🎉
@plants, please meet my Cyperus alternifolius (syn.: C. flabelliformis) that has survived its fourth winter outside in Denmark. I actually thought it was dead after the winter this year, and had started contemplating what else to plant in that corner, but today I noticed three strong shoots (of which two are seen on the attached photo). Yay!
The previous four summers it has grown to 175+ cm during the growth season, only to have all greenery killed by frost during the winter.
See parent post for how the papyrus ended up outside in the first place.

Just published: review of Paul Rothrock's Sedges of Indiana and the Adjacent States: The Carex species. Vol. 2.
I really like this book. I'm biased, as a sedge enthusiast and contributor of an essay on chromosome evolution. But Paul's book is masterful, richly illustrated with Paul's photos, with great keys and beautiful text. Read the review, buy the book, support plant biodiversity research and Paul's ongoing work.
