Blooming surprise

With this being our first spring in this house, we've been watching to see what perennials are coming up. I don't know what kind of plant this is, but it's blooming now.  

The buds look like they are enmeshed in silky threads. It's mysterious; I hope we don't start hearing little lavender voices saying: "Feed meeeeeee...."

Yup, definitely looks like Audrey 3, Ms.M.
I'll keep an eye on the news channel to see if Boise is suddenly devoured by a giant, hairy flower.
Get ready to run.

Haha! Yes, we'll keep our running shoes handy, especially if they start to grow taller and taller...

...referring to the plants; it would be really creepy if our running shoes started to grow!

Platform running shoes! There's a niche market crying out to be filled. It would certainly make the Olympics more fun.

You're right! Along with the track and field events, maybe they could be added to ice skates for platform ice hockey.
