We took the kids to the Botanical Gardens a week or so back, and I saw this thing. It's a beast of a tree. The thing is, it look gorgeous, delicate, and inviting (from a distance). But then I saw the title plate at the base of the tree.
Dragon? What dragon? Why's it a dragon? Zorak pointed out why it's a dragon. Ohhh....
Did you see it? Yes, lovely little orange erm, shaped, fruits. But beside those, look closely.
Crikey! Now *that's* a protective hedge. I'm thinking we'll plant them below the bedroom windows. Kind of makes the traditional holly bush look a little puny, doesn't it? Yep, then we'd have dragons, in addition to our half-a-moat! It's shaping up to be a regular little castle, around here!
Kiss those babies! (and, uh, keep them out of the dragon beds!)
