Cacti

Thats uncanny Nathan!!

You mean thats happened to you as well!

 

I had some stick to me and I've packed the clothing away and not noticed till I got home.
Steve what are these plants?
I like a good mystery to solve.

 

The nearest I can get to it from searching on the net is a Catalpa

the leaves definitely look the same and the description of the pods sounds like the ones that dropped off the tree and stuck in my hair and then germinated when I got home and had a bath

 

Indian bean tree eh. Do the leaves have a bad smell when crushed, a bit like old trainers that have seen better days.?

 

you'll have to bear with me on that one Pete, as its pretty bare at the mo

The seeds did seem to smell of old suitcase and dirty washing as far as I can remember

 

Yeah I bet they did.

 

A friend of mine approached our local zoo (Whipsnade in Bedfordshire) and they were very happy to have her overgrown plant to put into one of the warm animal enclosures.

 

Thanks for that Boot I'll bear that in mind.
Get it BEAR that in mind?

 

Or ask them if you can swop them for some lion dung Pete

 

If I swap the plants for the lion dung What do I use the lion dung for?

 

I might like cats, maybe.

Just a question...... Why does the heading still say cacti, when we stopped talking about cacti days ago.

 

I think I can aswer that one, what you should do to keep it on topic is slip a reference in now and again, says steve while glancing towards the opuntia microdasys rufida perched on his windowsill
