lovely yellows against the blue sky
the polystyrene plant
i know what you are thinking, but it's not. there's no such thing as a sugar lump tree. it's in fact a polystyrene plant. the one is in bloom, hence the poly blobs on the end of the spiky branches.
this sign would work well on my desk at work.
photo of photography CDs used as bird scarers
i was taking a picture of these CDs in garden and they blew round to reveal they were from a photography magazine. they weren't very effective though as the picture i took isn't great and the vegetables had been majorly munched by moluscs.

you miserable thief
i love this sign. it says "why don't you leave our plants alone, you miserable thief".
there's a good use of capital letters (even i agree with their use in this case). And the sentiment is tremendous.
we can only hope the thief reads this little label which was tied to the neck of a large pot plant. they don't call those bits of a plant necks do they ? trunk i meant. sorry.
cut backs to the hanging garden
oh no ! they've chopped the hanging garden. the amazing thing is those hanging baskets are SO high, at least a few metres off the ground (compare to the people in the photo below).
hanging garden update
the hanging garden just gets longer and longer. it's like a wall now.
power plant
this chap doesn't know his own strength and has smashed itself out of its shell.
hanging gardens
queen anne street in london is one of my most eventful streets. there's always something to take a photo of. i've taken a picture of all the drain covers, i've seen hugh grant (but he declined to let me take a photo) and i've spotted most of my street flowers.
in fact it was only recently i realised that all the flowers on the floor had been coming from these hanging baskets (how stupid am i)!
the hanging baskets are now getting out of control thanks to the rainy summer and they are growing downwards at quite a terrific rate. they are so big and dangly that you can't really walk round them and you have to bend right down to go under them (even for me). is this to be london's first rain forest with its own microclimate ?
here's a really bad picture of me in the flowers attempting to prove how low they are hanging (but failing). the photo was in to the sun and i was rushing for my train and i forgot to smile etc etc
wow. so many words in one entry. this is like a real blog !
