Talking of plants


Just thought I'd share some useless info with you all.
G and i find this quite amusing.
G's Gran was a florist, G's mum likes to potter in her garden but actually has a big fear of plants, ferns in particular, she apologises to the xmas tree and has even rescued lettuces. She is a dog walker, and one of the dogs wandered off into a field which was quite over grown, took her quite a while to muster up the courage to go into the field to retreive the dog and almost had a pannic attack.
Isnt that odd?
Like I said it amuses me and G but it must be pretty awful for his mum tbh.

Re: Talking of plants


That's a strange phobia; never heard of it before. It must make life a bit difficult for her; wonder what caused it? I can understand Yola and her feathers, and me and many others of spiders, but plants???

I thought earlier when you mentioned triffids you were thinking of the movie Day of the Triffids .....

I cannt remember if the lettuces were to be eaten or thrown away tbh but she always refered to them as her rescued lettuces
