I think you’ll be safe – it appears to be missing it’s teeth!

Maybe it’s some sort of gum tree?

Bazinga!

But it’s not my birthday yet!

mrs_ratt informs me that this artwork has come and gone several times in recent weeks, and has indeed gone again by this morning.

It looks a bit like the plant from the Dentist film/stageshow.

I agree this is awesome.

Some questions (as it’s not apparent from the pic):

Was the drain/stormwater riser there already or is that part of the artwork?

Also what is the structure made of and if it’s a real stormwater riser, how is it attached in such a structurally sound way?

I think I’m going to have to do a drive by to see this myself.

Sheesh can’t anyone recognise a triffid when they see one??

Sorry Al:

Clearly a Piranha Plant, and not a Triffid.

However, perhaps a challenge should be laid?
Triffid in canberra, anyone feeling creative?

That green drain opening is going to get more Mario-ed in the future…

Watch this space.
