The Season's Highlight Surprise

I came out to water the plants on the deck this morning and found that the endive has sprung a handful of flowers. Yesterday's one bloom had shriveled up. The flowers apparently live just a day. Dozens of buds continue to sprout on what now appears to be an extended flower stalk for the normally low-growing endive. Its surprise flowers are certainly among this season's most pleasant discoveries!
