Default Can you name this strange look plant pls?


"someone" wrote in message

Yes, it's a Caper Spurge, E. lathyrus. (Do not eat it, it is not the real
Caper plant, it's poisonous)



AKA Mole Plant - it's supposed to keep away moles. It grows everywhere in
my garden and we have no moles, so...

Oh, we were told it kept elephants away. Perhaps its influences is long
lasting, we've never seen an elephant here even when there are none of the
plants.

Might be that the chickens frighten the elephants ...
