It is an introduced species that looks vaguely fern-like. Interestingly, it's flower is not conspicuous, rather grows out of the bottom of the stem that the leaves sprout from. There is a leaf for every flower and they alternate as the stem grows outward. On a longer stem, the full progression from bud to fruit can be seen, stage by stage, the youngest part distal. These flowers are an example of the axillary arrangement.

Dear Daniel,
My name is Tal and we met about a decade ago in a little town called Thurso in Northern Scotland. Remember?
Anyway, I was looking through some old junk and found the journal I kept during my trip and began reading it. Wow, what a time warp... At some point in the reading you appeared and so did a funny picture of you in sort of a superman pose (both hands on your waist) and you were wearing socks and sandals. In my journal I wrote about the interesting 2 days we spent together (you, my friend and I) and the interesting talks we had about theology and what not...
Anyway, seeing as technology has made this world tiny, I thought to look you up on the Internet and see where life has taken you.
If you feel like it, my email is talio289@yahoo.com (hasn't changed).
I hope you are living life to the fullest!
Warmest regards,
Tal
P.S - you look exactly the same in your picture..
