GPE #8 : Mago's "terrifying tryffidrie"


M A G O
 
 Finally a few pictures for the Garden Photo Event, much too early, sorry.*
 
 It is Plant A (I still call her so, despite the fact that it is not the original "plant A" of some years ago) - Plant A, I say, in total, from below, and an apple.
 Sorry, no terrifying tryffidrie.
[That's what you thought! - IDV]
 
Plant A total
 
 
Plant A upskirt


[For comparison, this is Mago's new Plant A from two years ago.
Hasn't it grown since then! - IDV]


The Original Sin

 But, wait!  Before we depart Mago's kitchen windowsill, what did I spy...
 
 
 A flower?  Eine Wachsblume?  Is your Hoya carnosa (Eng., Ger.) flowering or is that something else, Mago?  Enquiring minds want to know!
 
 Flower or not, thank you for taking part, Mago.  Your wax plant is doing marvellously well and it's nice to see her again.
 
 
* Just like Savvy, Mago had the audacity to get his photos in before the deadline.  What is the world coming to?!?

  2. Yes, that is quite terrifying!! I think the plant may have broken the blind???
    I hope it is a flower.

  3. Thank You Jon - Plant A sends her best regards. It's not only the scent, but also the nectar, very sweet. She was very generous this year with those little porcellain buds dripping all over the place.
    In a way Plant A stepped out of time, and took a niche place besides.

    No worries MsScarlet, she won't bite. Plant A becomes stronger, and hence she turns and flips the single Lamellen, but the blind as a whole hangs firm & proof, undisturbed by the additional weight of Plant A.

    I am sorry IDV, I have no idea what you spotted up there. I usually do not inspect plant A too much. Now & then she calls me over and demands some drink, as is only natural. I really do not care what she does on the windowsill, as long as there is enough space for me to put a bottle or a can thither - obviously temporary, so she accepts. Not only man alone is a territorial being.
    Thank You for allowing Plant A & me in !

  4. Well done, Mr M! I've grown Hoyas in many places and often had trouble with them, but Mam'selle A. looks superb. And she's not going to take any nonsense from that Venetian!!
