We have a nine foot flower on the gold agave. It was a cute little 8inch pot plant a couple of years ago. I thought of the little shop of horrors when it started to shoot up.

The secret of looking like a great photographer:

Take hundreds of photos. Throw away 95 percent of them.

Should I be afraid it will come in the house at night?

I tried to get the cat to sit in front of it to give scale, but he won't. I think he is also scared of it.

Yes I do mean the triffid. As if I would hurt a kitty. As I type he(the cat) had jumped on to the chair next to me and appears relaxed, so he (the cat) must know the triffid won't get in the house.

The triffid, on the other hand is very close to the pool, and would probably be able to extinguish the flame quite quickly.

However we may be able to adapt the flamethrower to shoot glyphosate (neat would do the trick I reckon.)

*shivers*

What if it can read my thoughts?

The house up the road had similar in their front yard a few months ago. Twelve feet? It's possible it's only just about to literally and figuratively about to hit its teens.

I would be able to tell how high it really was if I could get close to it. I already hacked off its spikes closest to the pool because it was making it difficult for MOTH to get around tidying etc.

And I would NEVER want anything to prevent that. I would have to do something myself.

Better plan on your replacement plant. Agave are one and done when they bloom....

I've recently read "Day of the Triffids" - they used flamethrowers and shotguns!
