News Flash !

This is the evil leader of the flower pot people” Terra-Cotta.” He was discovered lurking in a Hampshire flower pot in the back garden of Sueb’s mother-in-law Batty Betty.
It’s not known if she is the ringleader (B B) or if she had called on the seven dwarfs S.W.A.T team (Seven With Axe n Trowels) to foil the dastardly plan to foil the Wellie Olympics. Keep your eyes peeled!!

Oh, well-spotted, Sue :o)
This FPP looks especially evil... :o(
The other rival team to the GoY Wellie Olympians is the Fancy Dress Gnomes, but they've never been such serious threat....
... however, is that a gnome lurking at the back, one we need to keep an eye on... ???
If this photo emerges on the GoY garden photos, that would be helpful, please, so that it can go on my favourites, with the other FPP, and be kept under observation. :o)

Mobee.. are there photos of your FPP on GoY ?

16 Jul, 2009

 

Great blog Sue. He looks to be a very shady character. I do believe that gnome also has a glint of evil in his eye.

16 Jul, 2009

 

I had trouble when first trying to put pics on GoY.
Maybe you can make some step-by-step hand-written instructions which you have written down yourself as your daughter shows you, so it will be in terms you understand...

Please do message me if you think I can help. We can then giggle together. Lol.

16 Jul, 2009

 

Trust you to notice that Bob! (its all Bobs fault!!!)

One question Sueb, Where can I get an eye peeler???

16 Jul, 2009

 

Thanks Bob and Ian ~ well you can thank Batty Betty for that she loves what she calls wildflowers in her pots note the dead plant!

17 Jul, 2009

 

The dead plant adds "structure and interest"... lol.....
well done Batty Betty :o)

17 Jul, 2009

 

Lol~TT

17 Jul, 2009

 

That's not a dead plant....that's a scientific study on secondary microsuccession and decomposition in vegetative matter. Very important for CSI:plants.

18 Jul, 2009

 

OMG ~
Gilli swallowed the RHS Encyclopaedia of Garden Plants .. and there's no known antidote !!! :o)

18 Jul, 2009

 

Wow Gilli how long have you known about Batty Betty's secret life by day mild mannered but very strange old lady by night CSI Investigator:Botany
TT ~Now thats a lot to swallow!!

18 Jul, 2009

 

What? :~((

18 Jul, 2009

 

Looks like a lovely weed you have with your flowerpot man

19 Jul, 2009

 

That Flower Pot Man has moved since I last visited this blog.... not to be trusted...
and, yes, Jennyb, Weed also looks a bit shifty...

19 Jul, 2009

 

have to keep an eye on the flower pot man

20 Jul, 2009

 

Little Weed....and "was it Bill or was it Ben...? Which of those two Flowerpot Men......"

21 Jul, 2009

 

LOL Sue.......It's amazing what a bit of investigative research will turn up. Batty Betty....aka Special agent B. Betty. In addition to the decomposition study on the expired plant, she is also keeping the FPman under surveilance.

24 Jul, 2009

 

Sue has done well to put us all on the alert !

... from Pondlady and Gilli in Canada to Pottygardener in Wales we need to keep a watch out in our gardens for evil Terra-Cotta's supporters.

Sue ~ have you visited Batty Betty lately ?
Any up to date news of Terra-Cotta ???

24 Jul, 2009

 

Check out Mushybanna's pic entitled Water Plant Flower...

24 Jul, 2009

 

WHO? WHO? WHO?
Look just because your parinoid doesn't mean their NOT out to get you

24 Jul, 2009

 

Parinoid Mad No! Ian you just don't understand they're mission is to take over the Wellie Olympics. Who knows where it will stop. Their out to get us all!! Are you one of them in disguise?

Terra-Cotta was gone on Saturday the pot had been replanted weed was eliminated, but I know he's still in the garden somewhere I just have to keep looking.

Gilli .....I'm not sure I trust Batty Betty she is easily won over by cream cake and tea and that bottle of water she insists she carry around I’m sure it’s gin.

27 Jul, 2009

 

Can you get 6' 5" flower pot people? I had kinda imagined them all to be sawn offs (at the knees that is)

27 Jul, 2009

 

Sue ~
Your mission is to visit Batty Betty again some time soon and photograph evil Terra-Cotta in his new location...:o)

27 Jul, 2009
