I like the theme for this month's competition........ the pictures coming in are making me smile :smile:
My car is often loaded with plants for shows and displays, but David V S's pic goes one step (in fact, several steps!) further.

Spotted in Willowmore, S.Africa.
Looks very unusual! A chopped up imported small Ford 100E from the look of it?
I had the van version of one of these, top speed about 45mph - suited slow growing cacti! If only I'd taken a pic of some plants in the back...

Looks like the filling station went bust and the plants took over.

This is one of a small shoal surrounding a tiny park in Sidmouth in 2011.
