  ;) You made me hungry, Hans!
And just to pay you back...what are those lovely fancy little marzipans? Don't you feel like grasping one of them and tasting it, softly melting in your mouth? :P

Well done indeed! That was very clever.... both the puzzle and the answer  ;D
Fascinating how taking something out of context can make it quite unrecognisable  :D

Don't know if it's called in English like this: Elfenbank, but grows on dead trees.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Elfenbank?  Sounds like a place where one goes to obtain a small loan. ;D  Yes, this was growing on a dying portion of a sugar maple.  Realizing how massive and heavy it was after it fell, I now try and limit the amount of time I stand close to the main tree trunk, as there are several more high up on the tree.  Does anyone know what type this is?  It serves as an interesting garden artifact, with Corydalis lutea rooting into it.

No one commented when I posted this so I thought it'd do as a little puzzle.

There are two insectivores in the photo, one is the plant.

One for the "Muso's"  ;D

I don't want to go to Chelsea even though it's a good year for the roses. Some of them are beyond belief, almost like indoor fireworks. Security has to be good though so watch your step because accidents will happen. Still, if like me, you can't stand up for falling down, you can always rely on watching the dectives or even oliver's army with alison would be a brilliant mistake. But what's so funny about peace, love and understanding.
