Junior got some new rocks and jungle bits  this week so we had a great time designing some new plants ........

Work in progress ..... helped by the cats of course!

Hi Skypurr

The plant named Junior's Fire Root, we have a plant like that and it is called a Red Hot Poker/Torch Lily or Kniphofia uvaria

Great customs, Elaine. 

In our garden we have a plant rather like the fire root (although not a red hot poker); unfortunately, I don't know its name!    :-[  (As gardeners, we've always been more veg and soft fruit.)

Mum and I have been creative again this night, but Mum seems to have lost the plot completely - some of her designs included a potty plant, a bellows plant, a plant with a baby instead of a flower and a plant with a wheel in it......  ??? ???
Here's a some new plants we made that aren't as farfetch'd.....

Those are really cool creations you two!! Way to go. :)
I love all the plants and stuff, and I, too, was inspired by Sven for trying new mixes.

Looking forward to more pictures. :)

Very, very impressive, Junior!

And, Elaine (and Tim aka Sven), who would have ever thought about customizing plants? And, especially creating new ones? Thank you (all y'all) for sharing your wonderful imaginations.

All the best,
Richard

What he should have explained was:

A pot plant - Potty plant
A young plant - A baby plant
A wheely nice plant .....  ;D  ;D  ;D

Thanks to Sven's advice we have had some success with the fire root plant.........
This is what it was like a few days ago....

This is today....

(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac300/skypurr/FIREROOT2.jpg)

Like Sven said, we kept it out of direct sunlight and dusted it - albeit a little more often than he said ... oh and we set the cats to watch out for monkeys!  ;D

Hi Elaine

That is a great improvement on the fire plant. I see the forest rabbits house that I so much want to find one in the US. It is a great piece for these forest/plant dioramas. I wanted to make a Robin-Hood hide out surrounded by a forest and perhaps some of these creative ideas for plants.

Thanks for sharing
