Huge stinky flower

[mabudon]

Since Halloween is coming up, stinky seems to be a hot topic, first stinky moss and now stink flowers... also, I was surprised as I'd thought that Rafflesia was the king, sounds like this one has it beat a few different ways....

Titan Arum's really do smell bad, I was lucky (or not, depending on your opinion!) to take my kids to see one in flower at my local botanic garden last month. I thought it was worth the long queue for several hours, my kids just thought I was mad, but enjoyed it once they had experienced the size and scent of the flower!!
