I remember...

I remember that book, The Day of the Triffids and even now over fifty years later I am still fascinated by them.   What did they really look like?  Where did the author dream up something like those plants?
Well today on my way to work I found what could have been his source of inspiration.   Aren't they some of the weirdest plants?

I think these will eventually become spikes of flowers - maybe by Spring?   Meanwhile they provide me with a dose of nostalgia each morning and evening.
And now back to my Ukranian Embroidery.   Pictures tomorrow night as progress is being made.
