Cool shots. A dangerous triffid? What is that. I have never heard of it...cool shot...but what makes it dangerous or are you just kidding around?

Thanks David

Google John Wyndham.

The "triffid" is a white passion flower.

Is it strange that when I look at the first image, I see Gonzo flipping me the bird?

Hiya Brian,

Excellent shots, love the Orchid but the Passiflora is my favorite a wonderful flower, they never thrive here in my garden though

Triffids eh I'd forgot what a great pair of Lungs Nicole Maurey had !! at least I think that's her name

Cheers for now
