You think that’s amazing, you should see the bee that pollinates it.

Because the smell of decaying flesh is always pleasant.

Maybe THAT’S why obama likes it so hot and smells so bad.

I thought for sure this was about Bobby Valentine and company. What a misleading headline.

We had something like that in a retail store that I worked at back in the mid-80s. One day we came in and it was.... stimulated.

They hired a clean-up crew to keep the doors open with massive fans and guards to keep folks (without a sense of smell) from walking off with anything.

We were closed for 2 days.

Funny the plant is named Morticia.

'........nicknamed Morticia, measures 4 feet, 9 inches tall'

That just described my ex-wife to exquisite perfection.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

OK so a bed of those flowers could be planted at a military base
and President Obama could be invited to dedicate the Marine
Corpse flowers, one for each of the 57 states.

My son saw one of these in bloom over a year ago. He happened to have a filter mask- I forget what they are called - and he said that he was glad he had it. Apparently those plants smell quite nasty, but because they RARELY “bloom” it is a very big deal to see one in person.

He got a big laugh because only a handful of people would actually go into the enclosure where the plant was to see it up close - everyone seemed to want to view it from a distance.

He was glad he had his mask, and really glad to have seen it - he said it is enormous and quite impressive. Only in bloom for about two days.

Had one bloom in Houston at a museum in 2010.
People were lined up for days to see it.

There’s a funeral home (one of those budget ones that does no embalming) near my town that has those in every viewing room.
