I know probably only I think this stuff is cool, but y'all can deal anyway.

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.

Plants...cool. But really, awesome plant!

I think this only works because they are small

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.
