Romanian doctors have found a plant growing in a four-year-old boy's nose.

The boy, from a mountain village in Vrancea county, had not complained about the germinating bean and was only in the surgery for a check-up.

Doctor Nicolae Moise, from County Hospital in Focsani, told Evenimentul Zilei newspaper: "As the boy didn't cry or tell his mother anything, it sprung to life and had little leaves when we found it."

The doctors said they had extracted many different things from children's noses and ears but never a living plant before.

For once, a story about someone with a local link, rather than Romania!
