In any other part of the world, this philodendron would be a normal houseplant. In Hawaii …
People have been known to mysteriously disappear from this bench. No trace of them remains but the leather of their shoes, a few buttons, and their pocket contents.*
Philodendron, Foster's Botanical Garden, Oahu, Hawaii
Looks like a nice enough place to disappear. I could see kickin off my shoes there too.
Are there any DRAGONS under those leaves?
Nice shot and very well framed.
Melli says Dragons, I’m thinking Gnomes!
I could enjoy getting lost there for a few hours.
little bench of horrors?
ha, i wouldn’t mind disappearing there for a few hours…
Bermuda- Triangle bench?? it looks lovely and peaceful…
Those leaves are encroaching upon the bench pretty good. I guess it is all the fertilizer from the unwitting souls who stop there for a rest.
I need to go water mine!
You keep telling fibs like that and Captain Honolulu is going to go after you.
it looks like the *bench* is going to be the next thing to disappear!
Robert — you are a very brave fellow.
Melli — OC — being OC — immediately told me that the plant aren’t people eating. I suppose dragons are as good an excuse as any.
Carletta — gnomes just put people to sleep for 100 years. Shouldn’t there be quite a pile of folks behind that bench by now?
Nea — I did!
Polona — cute. Enjoy the garden. Avoid the bench.
Mar — that’s a handy explanation, too.
Amber — don’t get too close!
Jules — shhhh! These people believe me!
Holly — I agree.
Maybe it was the wrong bench.
Brian — since it is in the Asian Gardens, I think it would have to be the Wong bench.
