life forms

My first blip was taken at the Botanical Gardens, and I returned there today. In fact I go there a lot. It's like an adopted back garden for me; more often than not I have the place to myself, I can sit and read, take photos, someone else does all the work...OK so I'd get thrown out in the evenings, but I can live with that.

All plants are mysterious to me, but the exotica in the Botanical Gardens are particularly strange and alien creatures.
