They smell like rotting corpses so let’s name these two properly: “Hillary Clinton” and “John Kerry”.
The Corpse Flower would be unfortunately, quite appropriate as an Official City Flower for the city of Chicago, when you consider the joblessness, the local murder rate and the thousands of citizens who have moved away. Hopefully, after Ram is gone, they will recover under better leadership. My hometown of Detroit went through a similar Dark Age, and has yet to fully rise from the ashes of corruption, cronyism and fiscal mismanagement. But there are signs of improvement.
Today we are going to Gardens Of The World. :)
There is some a Coca-Cola event going on with music and games. I put a liter bottle of water in the freezer to take with us (I am cheap and like to save euros when I can). My wife said there is a Coca-Cola event. I replied:; good I will bring a bottle home to clean the toilet with.
If any city can make a corpse flower bloom it would be Chicago.
Don’t we see these stories about how “rare” these flowers are to bloom in “captivity” every freakin’ year for the last 20 years? Journalists really suck.
I can’t think of a more appropriate city in the U.S. for a corpse flower to bloom.
Two of these blooming in Chicago? Must be a sure sign of climate change.
Remember Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Quick call Zer0 and Mooch.
Two giant corpse flowers named Hillary and Kathy....
