People, Plants, Landscapes: Little Shop of Horrors but in a nice way. When Abyssinian Bananas start flowering they always remind me of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors , allegedly and apparently the most performed musical in the world. I saw a great performance of this years ago at the Cardinia Cultural Centre in Pakenham. Spoiler Alert: it’s about a small florist/nursery where one of the plants starts talking and growing exponentially and eats everyone. In fact I think it takes over the world but I can’t remember. Anyway, Abyssinian Bananas or Enset won’t eat you and are awesome. These two at the Northcote Pool are flowering at the same time so we should get fruit and therefore seed from them - if they get this all done before the Northcote is closed for redevelopment, earmarked for this year some time 😢 #littleshopofhorrors #audreyii #uncannylikeness #dontbeafraid #spoileralert #giantflower #giantherbaceousperennial #enseteventricosum #abyssinianbanana #plantsofeastafrica #plantsofethiopia #perennialvegetables #perennialedibles #poolgarden #novelcrops #panc #monocarpic #floweranddie #letthemrule
