Frida Kahlo killed my plant!
After some recent rains..and with absolutely no help from moi..this unidentified-by-me plant started growing out of one of my patio beer cap pots.
What is it?

Could it be a Pacifico Tree - imagine that!
I will look at some of my plant ID books and get back to you.

It looks like a weed that we get that is very invasive. It will get a bright orange sack that will burst open with 100's of seeds inside. If that is
what it is, it was probably in the soil.

If you ever want to verify Judy's accuracy on the number of seeds it produces, next time use water, rather than Round-Up!

I was kidding there amigo. I have no idea. I would say it is a Dead Plant now though and would probably be right. I would advise against smoking it.
Death sure comes quickly in the Baja.

Is that Diego Rivera she's holding?
That's a very strange woman.

It looks like Diego to me. I think she's a great artist, a unique person who suffered a lot in her short life. I wonder how her life might have been
had the bus accident not occurred, and had she not experienced so much life-long pain as a result.

It's dead, then? Hmmm...
..Cedric may have 'watered' it.

And now back to the really strange painting...
On second thought I think that may be the child that she and Diego lost. She wanted a child badly, but couldn't carry a baby to term. It makes more
sense that she is holding Diego's lost son in this painting, and not Diego.
My hijack is finished now Roger, Thank you for the use of your thread

This amazing painting was completed in 1949 and is entitled The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico), Myself, Diego and Senor Xolotl.
