La Révolte Des Triffides (1963)

Partager la citation sur facebook In nature's scheme of things, there are certain plants which are carnivorous, or eating plants. The Venus Fly Trap is one of the best known of these plants. A fly drawn to the plant by its sweet syrup, brushes against triggered bristles. Just how these plants digest their pray has yet to be explained. There is much still to learn about these fascinating eating plants. This is a newcomer: Triffidus Celestus, brought to earth on the meteorite during the Day of the Triffids.

At observatories astronomers are noting this fantastic phenomenon, and are carefully calculating the effect on our solar system.

Christine Durrant: That's exactly right.
