It's a little shop of horrors *sings*

[cheryl_bites]

I've never seen that... I know there's a giant carnivorous plant, though. That sings. I hope this one doesn't.

There is a giant carnivorous plant. That sings. That's all you need to know.

(Actually, the giant puppet we used when I was part of a Little Shop production looks disturbingly like that lily, which is what reminded me of it. The Little Shop plant is supposed to be based on a venus flytrap, though.)

It is very beautiful! And scary, too. Lucio would love it.

[cheryl_bites]

I hadn't thought of that! That makes it all much better.

[cheryl_bites]

I don't blame you; you lucky lot have all the best cultivars. *Moans at the thought of all the wonderful Louisiana and Spuria irises sitting over there in the US where she can't get to them*

Baby, that plant wants to fuck you, not kill you.

[cheryl_bites]

...Thank you for adding an even more disturbing dimension to this situation. *Makes very definite note to buy I. sibirica "Hubbard" instead*

[dirtbunnies]

That's what I'm here for. Your photography is beautiful, btw.

[cheryl_bites]

Oh, that's not one of mine; it was in the lily catalogue, so when I'd finished killing myself laughing I saved it to make a funny post with. *Looks as it* *Starts cackling again*

[sweetestremedy]

Oh, wow, it's pretty!

(If there's a plant that's going to eat people, my bets are on Tacca Chantrieri. Scary things!)

[cheryl_bites]

Well, true, but I'd prefer a similar cultivar with a less disturbing expression on its face. :P

(*Looks it up* Oh, wow. Called the Bat Flower in English, I see? It really does look like a bat. And, hey, it's got little mushrooms growing out of the middle of it! That's amazing!)
