A solid rubber ball lost in a garden about a year ago was found the other day by Master Ralph Dobney, of Grey Lynn, and the discovery was then made that a bulb had grown through it (says the Auckland Star). The stalk had pushed its way straight up through the rubber, and then, on reaching the sunlight, had added several inches of green stalk. After being photographed, the plant freak was returned to the garden to see what the next stage of development would be.
