But the flowers are so beautiful and unusual they should be old enough to flower in about 3 - 4 years! Kevlar gloves? Lol. Actually the thorns tried to eat one of my firefighter/EMT 'sharps' gloves - that's what I've been using to move them - pulled the right hand glove right off - took about 30 minutes to get it out using knitting needles and tongs. You've got me thinking, they would be great to throw at a burglar or someone trying to attack me.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
