Alien sky eaters redux

The Himalayan lily bloomed and died last year, but the stalk remains ominous overhead (that's a 5 foot fence behind it), covered with alien sky eaters. I'm borrowing this perfect turn of phrase, coined by the Outlaw Gardener; also his close-up photos came out better, which you can see at the link. But at it's base, bulblets are growing. I'm hoping for new flower stalks in 2 or 3 years.
