Nothing Happens At Ten

Ledebouria socialis … or … Silver squill, wood hyacinth, leopard lily.

We are into SPOTH’s again. This one is really tiny.

The whole plant is about 6 inches tall. This is what the flower stem looks like.

Each of the flowers is less than a quarter inch across. Here is a closer view of the flowers.

Pretty nifty.

I wonder where you can find bees that are small enough to pollinate ’em.

Wow. That’s a mouthful, even for a SPOTH.

I guess they get the name from the tiny little flower. It has a spectacular blue color.

Unlike our usual Man-Eating entries, this one looks kind of cuddly and huggable.

I haven’t done a SPOTH for a long time, so here is a new one.

In case you have not been reading this blog for a while, a SPOTH is a Strange Plant Of The Hour. You see, my son keeps and raises strange, sometimes dangerous, some times man-eating, plants down in our basement, and on occasion I will post photos of them.

Here is a photo of today’s SPOTH.

OK. So what? It’s a stringy clingy little plant. But check out the tiny little flower ( highlighted in the red circle below)

Yikes. It has gecko fingers in the middle of it. Or maybe it just ate a gecko, and the lizard is still trying to get out.

The base of the plant is pretty strange too.

You probably can’t read the label, but it says “Euphorbia globosa”. So, it’s a globby plant?

But that ain’t nuthin’. This one is the baby. Here’s the Momma Glob

If that isn’t strange enough…. well I’ll go take another look down there. You never know what you are going to find.

(If I don’t come back up, call the Mounties).
