User's notes
This is a group of 4 along a path; in late 2020, all but one was ripped up by a presumably well-meaning ignoramus., the one in the big top pic being the sole survivor (above ground). But they all resprouted spring 2021; in the lower left pic (Dec 19 2021) we see that two of them have had their central stems chewed off or otherwise removed, another has pods beginning to turn blue, and the biggest is not really visible. In the lower right one (Jan 5 2022), that these two have resprouted central stems with starter seed pods, not very well developed, while the other two have blued up considerably (biggest one not in the lower pictures).
Note that, annoyingly, the flyover hints on a picture only give the date of the latest update; but the top pic would have taken Dec 30 2020 or a bit before (the date of the identity confirmations by the moderators), the others on the days stated. This seems like an bug in the app.
