After many failed attempts to grow angelica from seed, I picked up a cellpack with many seedlings from the HPS/MAG spring plant sale two years ago. Even though it's supposed to be a biennial, it didn't bloom the following year, staying as a smallish plant through the season. But finally, this is the year of flowers. The plants are much larger, starting to reach for the sky. I thought that the bulgy pods I spotted by mid-summer were flower buds, but as the photos below show, they are actually the way the leaves and stalks progress upwards. But then, by late August, a real flowerbud. Now I hope they self-seed.
