Starfish In My Garden

It is an unusual fall - open and warm, but with coolish nights.  However the frost still seems to be keeping at bay.  I'm not sure if it is these conditions, or whether I've just never observed it before, but I've got starfish growing in my garden, complete with lovely little pseudo suckers on the edges of their tentacles.



Well okay, they are just plain old caster bean leaves, but aren't they quite spectacular?

And that is about all I have to say for today.

    I have never seen a plant like this before. It is a new one that I may have to explore for my own garden.
