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.
