It is elephant garlic and not so sharp to cook with as it is more related to leek

That snail is living dangerously. Gastropods shouldn't hang about near garlic. It's just asking for trouble.

The blue solanum in the background is toxic (related to Deadly Nightshade but somewhat less dangerous).

Yes indeed, if that floats your boat. Perhaps one could then utilise the mantis as a toothpick.

Hell's bells and bits and bobs!! Think I'll pass on the flossing after all. Perhaps he would be more useful as a hair grip, he looks like he would hang on well. Lord knows it's hard to keep the barnet under control......
