We all know that it's a bad world out there, but one would not expect to be attacked by a plant. This happened a few days ago when I tried to photograph some strange bulbs in Via Salvatore Orlando: they repeatedly popped, squirting something in my direction. Only after the fact I have learned that these plants are called squirting cucumbers, and now I know why...
How odd and interesting! I have never heard of such a thing. Glad you liked my bench today. I thought of your blog when I saw it.
ReplyDeleteVery funny! That would be a big surprise getting squirted by a cucumber plant! But I'm glad you survived the attack! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope it didn't damage your camera and it's a good thing you didn't have a reaction to them.
ReplyDeleteYou sure make unusual enemies.
ReplyDeleteCareful out there, VP. :-)

ReplyDeleteThat is so creepy!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these. But I will know to be careful if I ever cross their path!
ReplyDeleteAn exploding cucumber? That really sounds weird!
ReplyDeleteHow weird is that!!
ReplyDeleteOh ny! I confess I have never heard of these squirting cucumbers before. :)
ReplyDeleteNo way VP! How very peculiar, who knew you had to beware the simple cucumber :)
