kudzu in flower

•

Many people are unaware that kudzu actually blooms, but it produces a somewhat flashy flower at this time of the year.

But, much like the art of Michelangelo after the Renaissance, the private parts of kudzu are rather demurely hidden under leaves.

    I didn't know that! All I know about kudzu is that it grows at a frightening rate. I feel like I read about it in Cricket Magazine, or maybe Ranger Rick, where it was compared to a plant version of Godzilla.

    Hello Aby. Yes, even though it's slowly taking over my part of the world, it does have a pretty flower.

    Hello Gwen.

    "Plant version of Godzilla" that's good, but it's more like a creepy green fog that is spreading over the countryside.
