Probably a reference to a bad 60's British sci-fi movie called "Day of the Triffids", which is also a novel by John Wyndham. Big plants that moved around and attacked people.
Edit: Just looked it up on imdb.com and the tagline was "Beware the triffids... they grow... know... walk... talk... stalk... and kill!"
