These creepy looking plants are all over the place and it's an uphill battle trying to control these pesky boogers around the yard. Those spines on the leaves are laser sharp and can penetrate even the heaviest of gloves as I found out painfully last year. And apparently the only thing that can get near them are bumblebees and stinkbugs. There is one of these plants right on the tree line behind the house that has 12 stinkbugs on it. Weird. In this photo, you can just make out a couple of stinkbugs just above the bee.
Good Lord Toast! It's a Triffid.
Thank god they can't walk.
Sometimes they remind me of that stupid singing plant in Little Shoppe of Horrors. God, what a terrible movie.
