It is :) Sorry, I don't have any to share, but one arrived as a volunteer in a pot of Cinnamon Fern that I got a year ago. Way, way cool :) Not sure if I can get a respectable photo, but I will try. Or maybe I can convince a good photographer to come and get one for me. Doesn't seem to increase especially quickly, only one stem last year, 2 this year.

yeh, I thought they look neat. Have you ever seen sweet coltsfoot? Its got real REAL big leaves, but from what I hear its a plant from !! Very invasive!!! But cool looking tho.

Yeah, it invaded me! LOL I didn't plant it, it just grew, and it flowered first. Looked just like a lot of dandelions springing up in my perennial bed in February. No leaves at first. But boy was it hard to get rid of! It spread as it was flowering. Took me 3 years to get rid of it all! Probably from one rogue seed that germinated. But the foliage was so neat. One of the few native wildflowers that I would not permit to stay with me.
