Guess what, this is my 1844.5* Holub plant (the better one of the two I had sown). Well, I kept it in the pot for a bit too long, and then I transplanted it into a corner of my patch where I just had removed some mustard (perhaps all three things...the longer time in the pot, the lack of nutrients at the new planting site and perhaps some influence of the decomposing mustard roots mad this plant go into hibernation for like two or three weeks). Also, I had to cover the plant with a little roof, because during its time in the pot the hypocotyl (where the red arrow points) opened, and now the "crown" consists of some kind of ribbon rather than a round stump. Anyway, this plant already had some males open, and I keep my fingers crossed that I can use it as a pollinator in about a week. Also, I will maybe grow a fruit on that little plant as well.
