golden alexander is like the quiet kid in the classroom who goes unnoticed for the first half of the year but becomes the teacher’s favorite by the end of second semester. it blooms without fanfare in late june along with a lot of other yellow flowers. but i know now, based on a lot of winter walks, that come february, those celebratory flower heads will still be holding their shape, and summer’s wallflower will be winter’s star pupil.
