this is exciting - it's a dead tree in a plant pot down on the viaduct. and it's working its way down the pathway

101202_850_img_4011.jpg

it had reached the pedestrian crossing by friday morning

come on in ceramic planters

look at this plant on the streets of auckland.  wouldn't surprise me if this got up and walked off.

not sure if this really counts as plants on the move, but i'll put it in that category anyway.

these plants have joined forced so they can fly away.  i'm not convinced it'll work

we've possibly had this before, but it's such a good one it's worth a revisit

see, i warned you.  plants are on the move.  these cactuses have got their own transport

there can't be many things in life which aren't made more jolly with the additional of googly eyes.

i was in london for a meeting yesterday and got to take some classic funkypancake street junk photos.  here's a good one.  it's a plant pot in a wheelchair.

080218_850_img_6973.jpg

i suppose it's only fair they should get wheelchairs since they can't walk.  some can potter about.

080218_850_img_6974.jpg

i'm not sure if the yellow chair was anything to do with it.

what a brilliant idea for outside a flourist shop. they'd decorated their scaffolding to make it in to a feature. excellent stuff.

ian sent me these two pictures of strange french trees. one with wheels and the other with a zimmer frame. perfect examples of plants on the move.

i've been worried about plants for a long time, hence the category 'plants on the move'. it seems they've now gone one sep further and now got proper faces

sometimes evolution goes down a deadend. here's a plant mutated in to a frog (no offence intended to any frogs in the audience)

regular readers will know of my fear of plant breakouts. i don't know if it's a triffid thing, but i don't like the idea of them jumping out of their containers and chasing people around town.

we see a lot of plants on the move, and perhaps this picture helps us understand the cause. this trolley is pushing the plant - we can see this if we look at the bottom of the plant pot (you might need to click the image to see it bigger).

http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff3/2006/01/DSC08543-thumb.jpg

isn't that typical - we've not seen a watering can for ages and then two come wandering down the road attached to two shaggy looking chaps carrying plants.

these chaps looked really depressed as they sloped down the road, but they were quite symetrical with their watercans and plants.

i asked if i could take a photo and unfortunately (for us) they smiled.

we've been aware of the plant uprising for a while but never have we seen one so evolved and aggressive as this one ! photo by mrs funkypancake mrs funkypancake's sister

some of the hanging baskets on my way to work have been removed. it looks like they didn't go without a fight as can be seen by the plants remains all over the floor.
