slice Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Hi, I was very lucky to see a very nice an bhuhe plant beside the ruins, I was passing with my bike and stopped to take pictures. Asked for a lady some directions and she gave me 2 pups! I am so happy. This is a real souvenir for my collection. Edited March 16, 2016 by slice 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M S Smith Posted October 3, 2013 Very nice plant for sure. No seed pods laying around anywhere? I hope you got a chance to see the art and took a few pictures to share. They seriously need to move this particular work into the museum section. ~Michael~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fenris Posted October 5, 2013 I do believe I have sampled a slice from the plant in that first photo :-) Its the one up on the hill overlooking the site, that's 14 hours I'm not ever likely to forget. I met a dragon spirit, it was incredible. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
