A spike at least 3 feet high grew straight up out of a large planter in my front garden. I had not a clue what it was. Certainlly not something I’d planted. I kept thinking I’d cut it down or move it but finally just directed it away from a sculpture it was growing directly in front of.  It had no flowers or leaves and was not that attractive, but I was rather intrigued, wondering how tall it would grow.  Then the other day I saw that it had pushed out blooms. I looked it up and learned that it is a variety of kalanchoe–one of my favorite flowering plants. I certainly have never seen one like this, however.
