Plant Food

Pinky was plant food when we found her.
This giant flesh-eating plant is very sensitive, if you touch the leaves, big slithering arms slide out from the centre and try to pull you in. You don't stand a chance trying to smell this flower. Sad thing is, a lot of dolls die in Reality Forest because it smells so good.
We'll have to find the others and find them quick.

Pinky Escapes! Or Does She?

Pinky ran fast through the bush. She certainly wasn't getting eaten by the alligator.

The sun was shining down and the air was very sticky. She pushed her way through and ended up in a nearby clearing.

She didn't see the big plant in front of her. It had a beautiful pink, fragrant flower with hundreds of pollen stems in the centre. The leaves were fern-like and very long.



She fell over it.

Pinky landed on the ground in front of the plant.
Luckily the stems weren't painful. She was a bit stunned from the fall. "Ouch! That hurt."
She thought she noticed a bone.
The flower still smelled heavenly.

Something slimy slithered up her leg. Pinky tried to get away. It was pulling her in.

This is no ordinary flower.

This is a Reality Forest flower. And the only thing it eats is doll flesh.
Pinky screamed for her life.

Gina And The Giant Pad

She did it. Gina took me up on my dare. She jumped in to swim next to the lily pad.
 

You can see how big and luscious the flower is.
I think I did a decent job of getting some nice side-boob in the pic.


I'm also not going to mention the giant bug on the leaf behind her.

Daring Gina To Get Wet

This is me trying to edge Gina to go into the water so anyone who ever finds this blog online can see how big the lily is. 

It's not going to work. She's too moody today.

I even dared her and it didn't work.

Giant Lily Pad Found In Lake

We ended up near the swimming hole and we found this. This lily pad falls into the gigantic category. It's almost as wide as I am tall.
You'll notice the cute little green frog chillin out on the flower.
Okay it's not so little. The frog is bigger than my hand.


He seemed a bit annoyed when I was taking his picture, but it's for a good cause. It's for my Reality Forest blog. lol.
He jumped at me after I snapped this.

Finding A Stockpile Of Grass

Here is a nice abundant area of grass Gina and I knew of. We thought we could dry some out. It's a very delicate grass and soft to the touch. I don't think it will dry very well as it's too delicate. We need a grass that will withstand the elements and the bugs.
A lot of insects here will eat the grass dry, because they prefer it that way.
Some eat it while it's living but dead plants are a rarity here.
We'll have to stick to rocks as markers.

Gina Looking At Flowers

We decided to head back to the stream today. We reached a part of the forest we couldn't even crawl through. It was so thick and dense. I don't even think a little critter could have climbed through. Besides we're getting thirsty and we're getting scratched by all the thorny vegetation. 

Gina posed near these wonderful pink flowers that grow on the tips of tall grass. There were also the blue rose like flowers that are pretty common here and, if you look at the top left corner, a very fragrant purple flower that has needles for its pedals. I'll try and get a better pic of one later.

She says she hasn't seen this many flowers in one place since she's been trapped here. 

Gina And The Purple Plant

Here's Gina standing near a dark, purple leafed plant. 

We thought it was kind of cool, so Gina stood next to it. It really stands out against all of this green.

You can see the leaves are wider than Gina's shoulders, but it doesn't grow very tall.

Just one of the many interesting plants in Reality Forest. 

Funky Leaves

Here's an interesting plant I found today. It looks like a big fan.
Don't know why I found it so interesting. Just thought it was kind of neat.

Vines With Blue Flowers

These are vines with blue flowers. They seemed to be growing downwards where I found them. They were a bit strange looking but still pretty cool.
Reality Forest just never stops surprising me.

Ant On A Branch

Here's one of the giant ants on a branch. In this pic it looks pretty small.
I wonder what they taste like. Maybe they're kind of tasty dipped in chocolate.
On second thought, I'll just stick with berries and fish.

Some Kind Of Pine

This was an interesting plant I snapped a pic of. It has the leaves of some kind of pine tree but it doesn't seem to grow very big. Still very beautiful in its shape and colour.

Webbed Leaves

This is a strange plant I just had to take a snapshot of. The leaves are very long and webbed and look like a venus flytrap. Funny how the simple things in life can inspire you.
