During the weekend’s adventures I came across what I believe to be an entirely new species: a teacup-bearing pine.

Not a new species at all – merely a Wedgewood tree, imported from the English midlands. They are being grown in greater quantities here, to satisfy the demand of teetotallers in the visiting Barmy Army. (Estimated number: 3).

That’s a casuarina.

One night when I was working a night shift (having pulled the short straw) I had some rather grotty instant noodles that I really couldn’t bother eating. So I went outside and decorated some newly planted shrubs (knee height) with them.
When the morning shift arrived I expounded on how the noodle bushes had finally sprouted, and some people to this day will tell you that noodles grow on trees. You won’t find these people at a Mensa meeting BTW.

Very rare species that tree; I believe it is a hotcuppicus-earlgreyicus pinus.

is that where tea-cup tree oil comes from?
