My mother works at a school and they needed some chestnuts for a nature project and had not realized she had a stowaway in her pocket
Needless to say, I was delighted, she screamed, the slug is safely living it's life out in the yard.

Plant of the Day
Thursday 6 February 2025
In the small arboretum of the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, Aberdeen, Scotland, was this young specimen of Aesculus turbinata (Japanese horse chestnut). This will become a large broad-crowned, deciduous tree with flowers that are creamy-white with a red spot produced in upright panicles (known as candles). The fruit will be roughly pear-shaped, with few or no spines on the case. But in the winter light it was the bark that attracted attention.
