OK well I figure we all like plant pics and we like to see who has some odd ones. I am sure to have some crazy ones that would stump most but figure lets make it a bit tough but not to bad.

The plant is a old world tropical with spines on the stems the stems look more like snake stems. This plant also grows in swampy area or on the sides of streams and rivers. If you think you know post the name.

Also for a bonus if you can name the lovely girl in the pic, many of you know her and get plants from her. She's a good friend of mine this pic was taken when I first met her in person years ago.
