Does anybody here know what this plant is?
I only ask because mum has become obsessed by them. She remembers potting them (we have several) but not what they’re called.
They were manky looking things until about 3 weeks ago. Then they started to bud, then the first flowers began to bloom, now they're bursting out all over.
They are so beautiful - looking just like swans in flight with dead long pointy pink noses - that I thought mum might like to look at them.
So I bought them into the living room.
Now she won’t shut up about them. I have to put up with a great big one in the middle of the coffee table blocking my view of the telly. Woe betide me if I try to move this triffid, or the coffee table, or even myself?
Mum wants it just so, so’s she can see it properly.
If my view of Columbo (currently) is to be obstructed, I’d dearly like to know by what? In the triffid’s defense, it is a stunning plant.
I'd love to be able to tell mum what it actually is... I bet someone here knows.
