corpse flower

My mom happened to be in Madison last week. She saw the big deformed penis Amorphophallus Titanum. She actually saw it when its spathe was open, and when it stunk. She wasn't very impressed. Big ol' ugly, stinky flower thing.

Did you see the picture with all the maggots?

No, I didn't hear about that. Is the picture still around?

Yep, it's right at the site. It's the one with the male and female flowers, and the maggots are between them.

Huh. (The "fly larvae" looks pink.) That's a lot of maggots!

Thanks.
