i did think at the time i ought to go back and take a photo of them on the stem, wish i had now. didnt notice them until they appeared all over me ~ as if they were alive ~ first cousin to a triffid i think.

I think we used to throw these at each other as children and call them 'sticky buds' - I vaguely remember my Mum being cross when I went home covered in them, including in my hair :)
