  1. Almost seven week later we have a strong and healthy plant, full of vigour — what a survivor. I wonder if I will ever get to see its flowers.

  2. 🤸 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.
