The Savior. In Radishes. This is from Noche de Rabanos, a Oaxacan tradition in which, on Chrismas Eve, the various barrios and villages in the area create these very strange and wonderful Christmas scenes in radishes and marigolds, among other materials.
Holy cow, danf...Night of the Radishes is completely awesome. That's a FPP if there ever was one - there are a lot of great links like this with more photos. If you don't want to work up a post, can I have dibs? But if you do, I totally encourage a nice December post on this. It's so neato.
I saw this on my bike ride this morning. Apparently Miss Gonzalez turned 40 today, and the people that love her felt compelled to put a life-sized piņata in her front yard to celebrate the event.
FAM: that gar mouth rocks and I love that it's mounted like a trophy. I'd sure like one of those for my mantel.
My first pic is the mouth of a Nepenthes hybrid (carnivorous tropical pitcher plant), I'd have to check my greenhouse notes for which one, it's just a baby and the adult form will be more...toothy.
