Anise - The Prequel

A couple of days ago I presented a picture of an Anise plant which, sadly, but beautifully, was no longer among the living.
 
Today, we have here, a baby anise plant, ready to pop out of its sheath. Beautiful, isn't it? Photographed at Bel Marin Keys.
 
Please, don't quote me, but I believe we are dealing with Pimpinella anisum, used to flavor food, drinks, and candy.
