This aloe usually faces away from the room and towards the window so I didn’t know it had grown into a demogorgon. It has poked three packers and me twice.
Very spiky aloe plant faces the camera. It looks like the demogorgon (flower face monster) from Stranger Things

I started rug hooking this summer and made this Boudicca mat. I actually finished it a week or two ago. For those who don’t know, she was a Celtic queen who raised an army against the Romans and burnt down Colchester. Archaeology has proven the city did burn down ~2000 years ago!
