Swedish woman Lena Paahlsson discovered her wedding ring on a carrot growing in her garden, 16 years after she lost it, Dagens Nyheter reported.

The white-gold band, set with seven small diamonds, went missing in her kitchen in 1995.

It was not until 16 years later when Paahlsson was pulling up carrots in her garden that she noticed one with the gold band fastened tightly around it.

"The carrot was sprouting in the middle of the ring. It is quite incredible," her husband Ola said to the newspaper.

The couple believes the ring fell into a sink back in 1995 and was lost in vegetable peelings that were turned into compost or fed to their sheep.

胡萝卜上长出遗失婚戒

        瑞典女子丽娜·帕勒森在菜园里长的胡萝卜上发现了她遗失16年的结婚戒指。

       据瑞典《每日新闻》报道，1995年，这枚镶有七颗小钻石的白金戒指在厨房里不见了。

       16年后，帕勒森在菜园里拔胡萝卜时意外发现那枚戒指紧紧的套在一根胡萝卜上。

       她丈夫奥拉说：“胡萝卜正好从戒指中间长出来，这简直太不可思议了。”

       他俩认为，戒指当时应该是掉进了水槽，后来又混进了被用作肥料和喂羊的烂菜叶子里。
