    Ok, inspired by the photo below ... DSCF6930 (640x360).jpg

    ... which sooooo, puts me in mind of the film "Little Shop of Horrors", I wondered which plants, in your garden, are looking "freaky"?

                Odd is good - (hrumph: so are your darn pictures! :th scifD36: :heehee: )
                Those are amazing shots - you must be permanently holding your camera (in-between cooking!). :thumbsup:

                I totally agree. Check this thread out (not my photos)

                I'll say it again - you should see what goes in the recycle bin.

                  Is that 'Tropaeolum peregrinum'? Easy or hard to grow? Ta!

                  Erratic seed germination but easy to grow. Beware of flea beetles though - it is like caviar to them and they will decimate a large vine in 24 to 48 hours :mad:

                    Tropaeolum peregrinum , canary creeper . Nice vine grows very well twining through something . I found it self seeded for a couple off years after.
