The square corners and straight lines of these stones still freak me out. They look like ancient stone blocks for a temple or a market, scoured to the ground by eons of wind and sand. Drag the pic so you can see the right side.

Remember that pregnant onion you gave me in December?



Turns out it is a Bowiea volubilis.

Strange plant.

 :D  Great! I had never known the name ... any relation to David Bowie?  ???

So it's surviving? They look cool after they've been growing for a few weeks undisturbed - all the tendrils pointing in the same direction.    :D

Also reminds me of a plant I have seen only once. It came up all over Columbia after Hurricane Hugo. Just orange tendrils with small white flowers, growing over everything. Mystical!    :D
