I have a Triffid in my yard.
It's on a leash.
But I've got to be careful when I water it.

That reminded me of something! A house we had up in Hervey Bay once… has these weird growing crawling vine type plants… reaching up to second floor and no matter how much we trimmed it back (and there were fast invisible biting things living amidst it!!!)
It kept growing and one day… when daughter went up there and took a photo of these weird plants going over the rail and into the veranda towards the house!
It freaked me out and I said… it’s like that movie the day of the triffids!
She didn’t know about it and I explained.
She thought it looked cool.
I was so annoyed at this taker over that it took several attempts by hubby’s chain saw to rid of it.
Was still growing and surviving from the stumps in the ground.
Well there was more effort to stop it.
Finally we did it, so triffids they were! Shocked

Daughter visiting after work tomorrow and I will ask if she can locate that photo!

Wow.

An app called google lens can help identify plants.
I was recommended it, it works pretty well

Don't think so.
I wasn't going to have an app permanently running on my computer
just to identify a flower as per here:

Me too - they are so beautiful - looks like it's an Aqua color?
They could be orchids?

Me too

Is it possible that they put Aqua dye into the plant's water?
Aqua is a strange color for any flower.

Triffids have a sensitive diet

Triffids have a sensitive diet

3 weeks ago. I think someone tried to break into my place through the back door. I came home to find a pair of boots and regurgitated clothes on the step next to my fat looking Triffid of 3m height.
