Triffids lived under the back verandah ... i was 10 when i saw the movie about those terrible plant alien things invaded ... we had plants called elephants ears (obvious reason)... we lived on a hill .. the breeze would rustle the leaves and make exactly the same noise as triffids ... usually around the time i was downstairs feeding the dog ... i was terrified ... still will not have them near my house as an adult ... you just never know do you ??
