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
Oh thats brilliant Sueb, I did notice that you had strategically placed some leaves to hide his embarrasment :o))
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...
one of Terra-Cotta's allies ???
24 Jul, 2009
I don,t like the look of this at all , nasty little flower pot people , I thought they had been to quiet for to long , what are they planning now ..
Do you think BB is being held hostage by Terra Cotta ? has she managed to get a secret message through to the SWAT team !!!
24 Jul, 2009
We'll have to await a report from Sue.... :o(
24 Jul, 2009

No Ian , your alright , it,s the others you have to worry about .....LOL...
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
