I had planned for Tchako to be the hit of the party, but TAKA was!
All the guests stopped in the driveway to view this marvel and take its portrait.
"Taka" is the name my gardener, Alphonse, gave for this monstrous beauty.
If it looks huge, it's not a camera trick. This beast stands face to face with me, looking like it's ready to Pounce! The flower is larger than my wide-open hand, the "whiskers" are over a foot long.The "eyes" at the top of the "antennas" look at me fiercely. Dreadful!
Here's a full standing portrait of Her Majesty.
Here's a close-up. I tried to put the white wall in the background so you could see it better. Does it send shivers up your spine?

WOW WOW WOW!
She is very beautiful and scary. It's easy to imagine how one could write a story about her...
Write one! Write one!
It looks like it should audition for Audrey II in the Little Shop of Horrors, or try out for The Day of the Triffids.
Je n'aime pas beaucoup cette fleur.
Où est Tchaka?
