Description
When I saw this old dilapidated house in an urban street in the north of Sydney, it immediately took my mind back to when I was a child and read "The Day of the Triffids", a novel that I loved.
Not that these ferns are triffids, but to me, they seemed to be engulfing or overtaking this abandoned house.

The Day of the Triffids is a 1951 post-apocalyptic novel by the English science fiction author John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris, under the pen name John Wyndham. It is about a plague of blindness that befalls the entire world, allowing the rise of an aggressive species of plant. Although Wyndham had already published other novels using other pen name combinations drawn from his real name, this was the first novel published as "John Wyndham". It established him as an important writer and remains his best known novel.
The story has been made into the 1962 feature film of the same name, three radio drama series (in 1957, 1968 and 2008), and two TV series (in 1981 and 2009). It was nominated for the International Fantasy Award in 1952, and in 2003 the novel was listed on the BBC's survey The Big Read.
