What a plant!
I discovered 2 plants in our new garden and was not too keen on keeping them. They surely looked foreign and out of place. No wonder as they, pineapple lilies or Eucomis, come from South Africa. So I planted both into a pot, as Monty Don did in one of his programmes. They make a fantastic display, almost looking like creatures from out of space.

THE FLY AND THE KANGAROO

Why the Kangaroo hops so high
Was once considered by a fly,
As it landed one day for a ride
On its tail, the toughest old hide,
And was henceforth immediately, and unceremoniously,
Flicked back into the sky.

It stands three metres high,
and if it stands upon your toes,
it's bound to make you cry.
