Post Can Plants Be Evil?

Only I've found a root that I suspect is very evil. I was thinking of planting it to see if I can grow some money, or is that just an old wives tale?

I've got a Janet Craig Dracena that has been eyeballing me in a fairly evil way.

I'm also a little wary of my Variagated Wandering Jew.

The local insects believe my Pitcher Plant is the gateway to hell.

Lastly my Mother-In-Laws-Tongue . . . Well what more do I have to say.

Hmm, yes I distinctly avoid walking too close toMonkey Puzzle Trees because I swear they�re going to fall on me in a suicide attack.
I think their against me because of my name.

I used to have a Venus Fly Trap, but it wasn�t really evil, just very misunderstood. It tried to make friends with flies by ithugged them to hard.

Remember, the greener it is, the meaner it is.
Don�t trust vegetation.

What we call bull nettle here in Texas (there are a variety of other plants called bull nettle elsewhere):

Species: Cnidoscolus texanus
Family: Euphorbiaceae

This is a very wicked, evil plant. Definitely demon-posessed. One encounter will convince you of this.

I think you've got it the wrong way round, you plant the money to grow an evil bush!

Rubbish. I've wasted three hundred quid trying that one.
