Welcome one and all to the 7th annual
Terrifying Triffidery
sideshow of the
I N F O M A N I A C
Garden Photos Event
A word of warning: my woodsman has had to get his chopper out to deal with some of these specimens, so try not to startle him!
TT #1 : One of Them!?
TT #2 : Creepy claws
TT #3 : Whatever it is, it looks truly repulsive!
TT #4 : "Blob eye"
TT #5 : Crisp-fried angel with noodles, anyone?
TT #6 : The Cerberus of Triffids - Prepare to be swallowed alive!
TT #8 : red rum
TT #9 : Snake!
TT #10 : I'm not convinced this happy trail leads to anything worth salivating over...
TT #11 : Ew! Gross! Let me get some tissues for that...
TT #12 : Ewwwwwwww!!! These ones have already been used!
TT #13 : "Up Yours!"
Well done to those of you who made it to the end. If you're missing any extremities or limbs, try not to lose your head about it - unless one of the triffids removed it for you first. After all, you should know by now that this wasn't going to be like a gentle wander through one of the Royal Horticultural Society's open gardens.
I think Sarah Blackwood of Dubstar said it best with "Did you think there'd be flowers where you walked?":
(from "You Were Never In Love")
Pop back in a couple of days time for the official commencement ceremony of The Infomaniac Garden Photos Event - and to find out if you managed to identify any of these triffids or their handlers. Remember to leave your educated guesses in the comments. See you soon!
P. S. For anyone reading who would like to take part in this year's GPE, there's still time. Just email your photos to me (email address in my profile at the top of the Sideboard on the right) by Friday 6th November, please.
OOH! Spooky...
ReplyDeleteI think TT #6 might be Ms Scarlet's, TT #10 may be Mistress Maddie's and the "used tissues" at TT #12 might be Dinah's, but I'm at a bit of a loss otherwise...
Jx
'Tis the season!
DeleteAs for your educated guesses, one out of three isn't bad so far.
I think the top one is really pretty!! Maybe Petra? Or Jon? #2 is also pretty. #5 might be Maddie? #3 Dinah? #10 Maddie? #11 Mr Devine, or Mitzi? #4 Also Mr Devine? #9 Savvy??? And #13 Mitzi, again???
ReplyDeleteI haven't a clue really, I might come back later and have another go!
Sx
The top one is quite pretty, isn't it. And like Jon, you managed to guess one correctly!
Delete#7 Madam A???
ReplyDeleteSx
Still only one...
DeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteI’m going to have to study these more thoroughly. Until I work up the courage to do so I’m going to say that #6 must be the effervescent Miss Scarlett
#6 by Ms Scarlet is a popular thought. You have until the end of the day to make some more guesses then all will be revealed tomorrow. Good luck!
Delete2 and/or 6 : MsScarlet
ReplyDelete3 and/or 7 : Mitzi
5 : IDV
10 : Jon
11 : Petra (Hei Pete, old Viking !)
12 : Savannah
13 : Dinahmow
Very likely far off.
Thunder and storm over the little tree house , the violets hudddle in the grand hall.
Ooooh! Hej Mago!
DeleteOld? I’ll quote Abba loosely. Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex.
Not very far off at all, dear Mago - you managed to get three right!
DeletePerhaps best not to take shelter in that house during the storm...
"We're still striving for the sky. No taste for humble pie..."
Jeepers! It's a tough one this year! But I'm pretty sure , absolutely certain, the beautiful opening pic of the House of Infomaniac came as what builders-in-a-hurry call a kitset.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to put my thinking cap on...
Yes, and those builders didn't believe in sealant (or a lot of walls!) so there's a bit of a draught at times...
DeleteStill finding this difficult, but I think I've got a few of #6 so it might be one them?
ReplyDeleteWell, despite not sending in a specific Triffid, one of your photos did yield one, but it's not #6. However, you still have time for some more guesses!
DeleteI shouldn't be looking at these on Hallowe'en night of all nights!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're either behind the sofa or under the covers, Very Mistress?
DeleteWow! What a truly disgusting display this year!
ReplyDeleteTT3 looks like something popped! They need a doctor!
TT 4 MIGHT be from the back passage of Jon and the Madame
TT 6 I think is definitely yours Mr DeVice.
TT 11 that is so creepy. Could be Pete or Mitzi?
TT12 not sure who's that is. But it makes me want to visit a glory hole.
And talk to your gardener!!! He cornered me in the back garden; he was all over me... I thought he was taking inventory!!! Don't worry though, I handled him.
Ew! Yes, that's exactly what #3 looks like! And one of your guesses is correct, Maddie - I see you have already claimed a prize. I'll see if I can find you and my woodsman some fresh tissues...
