12 days, or more...

This is in the interregnum between the two towers at 55 Collins Street in Melbourne. These trees have very rapid growth at this time of the year. Appearing fully formed and complete with a shiny inedible fruit and spangly lights. The appearance of one tree seems to prompt a plague, they appear everywhere, and cause some mysterious emulatory disease to take hold in the far corners of the world. I have a Swedish home model, an el cheapo from the COOP that fair country, complete with plastic fir that the dog doesn't like-a wonder, given he has destroyed 5 shoes and two couches this week.

Here is another genus of the same plague. This one is a completely transparent silver, and unlikely to require sunlight for photosynthesis. Used to complement the smaller, ungown versions of the first tree pictured.
A set up, perhaps the silvery trees radiate some chemistry that induces growth in the green trees, or perhaps the whole concept radiates some effusion that lightly touches my gag reflex.
