Yes, in just over a week's time, on 31st October, the Terrifying Triffids will be released heralding the 15th annual
I N F O M A N I A C
GARDEN PHOTOS EVENT
I hope you've all been taking photos of how your expansive grounds | bijou courtyard | overgrown wilderness | rampant houseplants | tasteful city garden | impenetrable jungle | potted paradise [delete as applicable] has grown over the year, as I'll want your carefully curated selections - along with terse or verbose captions - in my in-box by Wednesday 29th October, please.*
And remember also to include a photo or two of a particularly spooky plant in your collection - or, failing that, a rather more mundane plant which has been snapped at an odd angle/close-up/while drunk - to join the rest of the Terrifying Triffidery on Hallowe'en.
This blog's gmail address for sending your photos & captions into is in my profile on top of the Sideboard over there. Or, if you have the Host's personal hotmail address, you can use that instead.

For anyone new to this/with only a few houseplants/concerned about your gardening abilities (etc.) who may be wondering if you can take part: Yes, you can!
As you can see by looking back through previous Garden Photos Events (see my handy GPE Page) pretty much anything goes - and the more the merrier! You don't have to provide dozens of photos - one or two will be fine - and there'll be no judging or negative critique. After all, in the exasperated tone of the GPE originator herself, The Very Mistress:
May I remind you that the Garden Photos Event is NOT a competition!
If you have any questions, thoughts, or ideas about the GPE, please sound off in the comments.

* But, because I am a soft touch, as long as some of you send in your photos by then, the rest of you lallygaggers can have a bit longer. But not much longer, mind! I have things to do, and I don't want to be curating photos all the way through November. (I'll leave it up to you to decide who's going to be in my good books by getting their photos in on time, and who will earn under-my-breath mutterings and a spectacular eye roll come 30th October. Or later. Almost certainly later.)
(As of this writing, we've received Triffid photos from five of you, and garden - indoor and out - photos from three of you lovely Bloggerati. The rest of you - get your skates on!)
See you and your triffids - good or evil - next week!

I hope you got mine, I had to rush to send them before I left town. I think I sent them to your regular email.
