Maybe I can lead a group of people where those plants are and.. Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

It's an interesting plant and very cool.

I wish they were big enough to eat people. For now, I rely on kudzu.

I share your sentiments regarding the plant eating people.
Also.
You've just reminded me of another reason I like Japan.

As a gardener, I cannot share your sentiments...unless I'm looking at it in light of the fact that fighting kudzu has given me some measure of mastery over a hatchet and machete.

I'm not sure why, Summer, but you reminded me of this quote.

You're not the only one who thinks it's cool. I'm not a plantophile (yes, I made that up) like you, but I love weird organisms. Thanks for the post.
