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?

I saw a similarly bizarre flower at Kew Gardens a few years back. For a few days it grew so tall, they had to take some glass out of the greenhouse roof above it.

Can't remember what sort it was, I'm afraid.
