but then looking close... all leaves have the spicules/thorns.... all
leaves could not be upside down, unless a nearby pond was just cleaned
out and rubbish thrown, where the underside of all the leaves is now
on top...
but then I may be missing something... and may be there is a
frakensteinine aquatic plant that has such numerous thorns/ spicules
on top surface.... some more astute or experienced botanists would
know...
Secondly, the parakeet seems to be muddy head to toe... some sort of
mishap, may be... intriguing....
may be your friend may yet tell us the story attached to this
tableau...
