I don’t get it, but it is beautiful.*
*Peanut Update!
One day after this picture was taken, the lengthy stalk was growing spikes and looked like a character from a Dr. Seuss book.
Two days after, those spikes multiplied like werewolf bristles growing longer and longer and began to resemble roots.
Three days after, which is today, I gently pulled it from its growing medium and realized that I must have somehow planted the peanut upside down! That stalk that began looking rootlike actually was a root- it had found the dirt and had begun growing a long taproot under the soil.
Now it looks like this and, as a peanut mother, I feel much, much better. Isn’t she lovely?
