“So let’s get this straight human. I am not a Triffid, I was born on this planet, actually in Africa and I am a Protea, PROTEA. Is that clear. I have nothing to do with Triffids, although don’t mess with me, I can get quite aggressive.”
“You can attack?”
“No, but I will close up and not open again, until you treat me with the respect I deserve. I am the best around here and the most expensive. We do not grow for anyone and did not get our name Sugarbush for nothing, we are the sweetest amongst all. And now take my photo, that everyone will know my name.”
“OK, will do. I must say you look very nice.”
I am pretty darned sure that no matter how argumentative that flower can be…….it is indeed a triffid!

You mean it is in disguise and planning to take over? I did noticed it changed its position when I began to talk to it, it was definitely looking in my direction, and as I left it waved with a leaf. A Triffid in disguise – I wonder what happened to the original flower. I was sure I heard a scream as I left the store.

I think the name Triffid suits them very well, they resemble something from a science fiction film.
