So there I was about to don my boots and go for a ramble, when...

I don't know, I seem to taking images off all kinds of odd things these days!

I thought this may be of interest. New growth at the edge of my pond; I forget the plant’s name off the top of my head, but it grows these interesting red spikes that turn into leaves and eventually produces little white flowers.

The image shows things rather larger than they actually are, but note the way one of the new shoots is growing right through a neighbouring leaf; hell-bent on having it’s own way obviously!

Spikes!

Some plants are obviously much more cruel than others...
