Percy's Pick of the Crop competition...

Percy would love your pictures of humorous veg for his PhD study
- "The Phallic Nature of Vegatables" - supervised by Prof. Belle Ende ....

The best will make it to the Pick of the Crop in a few weeks time.

There will be no prize due to government cuts at the Nobservatory, but be smug

in the knowledge that you are aiding the world of food science.

Phallus Drewesii

Ahhh, foraging season, my absolute favourite time of the year!
The must-find shroom for all you foodies out there is this, the wonderful Phallus Drewesii mushroom. Highly prized in super nobby restaurants, this stinky horn  goes perfectly with hot pork, beef injections and steaktubes.

Shadow Wiener

Look closer, Nobwatchers... Closer still... Can you tell what it is yet? This shadowy dong was discovered by an unwary nobwatcher staining London's underbelly with its sinister umbrage. A nobby version of a magic eye poster - a magic japseye!

Gardeners' Delight

Fresh from the Nobservatory Nurseries this new hybrid is set to take the Chelsea Flower Show by storm. This new breed, the Scrotus Verdi, is already creating a buzz in the gardening community. Affectionately known as 'Grandad's Bell', this is a hardy upright perennial hybrid of Bellflower, Dyckia and a Bulbous Assyrian Banana.

Grandad's Bell will grow good and strong in sunny sites near young ladies in bikinis. It can be susceptible to the Cock-Chafer Beetle grub in damp areas - a plump little grub with a swarthy tip and three legs.

The Man Baton

A wonderful crusty golden submission from @pancake_one via Twitter. The lunchbox-lurking Man Baton provides a man sized stick for hungry Nobwatchers to get their chops around. Versatile, like all good nobs it can be cheesy, beefy or even taste a little like chicken. Tasty!

@pancake_one, the Nobservatory salutes you!

Pinobbhio

We all know it's wrong to lie, and in the case of Carlo Collodi's little wooden chap a few porky pies could lead to an untimely excess of wood. Well, Geppetto, you can take your measly little wooden boy and knack off - the erector of this fine trouser-puppet has created an effigy of manhood!

Working with the natural forms of the stump, the artist has polished the glans to a fine sheen and engraved on the oblique testes the mysterious mantras "Play" and "Learn".

Arizona Boner

Mmm. Succulent.

Wanger-weathered wall

A magnificent example of the underexplored wanger-weathering phenomenon. Created by neither nobartist nor nobarchitect, a superbly crafted erect dong adorns an otherwise unremarkable post. Isn't nature wonderful!
