Day Of The Triffids

pretty maids all in a row

Are they Gladioli? They'll be lovely when they flower. Triffids indeed!!!! Nothing like them. I've got those. 'Triffidus everywherus' is their proper name..

They're just sort of milling about, doing nothing, and have been for a while.
I think they're up to something, one minute leaning this way, the next minute the other way, must be passing messages on...!
They're gonna come for us in our beds.....or bloom, at this rate I'll have a quid either way.
