The Travel Giraffe

[Lesley Cox]

Thanks for these super pictures Stellan, as always. Gerry looks well and happy. Does anyone ever see you setting him in place and wonder "What on earth is this man up to?"

"One pictures tell more than 1000 words..."

especially the look of the giraffes eyes and mouth

But Gerry doesn't have a mouth

[Lesley Cox]

He must have. We know he eats onions.

I especially like the photo of the allium where Gerry is trying to blend in

I especially like the photo of the allium where Gerry is trying to blend in

According to Lesley, Gerry is trying to eat that allium

In terms of trying to blend in, his pedicellate mane does a fair imitation of a spoke-form Allium head

Gerry is feeling lonely, so I found him a mate, Geraldine.

Geraldine is a real looker, Mcmark, your match-making skills are clearly pretty nifty ( A thought for other jobe opportunities??)
 
Not too sure about the logistics in getting Geraldine to Gerry..... unless she is in Africa and Stellan plans a trip....... and you know how tough these long-distance relationships can be......

[Lesley Cox]

Maggi, can you find the thread in which there were pictures of a different giraffe, or several, in Peter Korn's garden? I think it was before his brother Gerry took to the road. I think there was one pic with a pulsatilla. I'd love to see those again.

Thanks Maggi, the world's greatest detective.

Thanks from me too - I had no idea that Gerry had camelid relatives from Africa! They must have told him some wonderful tales of botanising trips there...no wonder he is such a keen botanist!  He certainly chooses some great plants to show us, thanks Gerry!

On another note, Geraldine does look like his type but she could prove to be a distraction when he should be concentrating on finding special plants and planning the next trip with Stellan
