One Liner Wednesday-

Andrew Wyeth

“There is a child in every one of us who is still a trick-or-treater looking for a brightly lit front porch.” – Robert Breault

The Corpse Flower

 

 

The allure of the corpse flower comes from its great size (it is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the plant kingdom), powerful stink, and fleeting presence. The plants frequently grow up to 8 feet tall in cultivation. Referred to as the corpse flower or stinky plant, its putrid smell is most potent during peak bloom at night into the early morning. The odor is often compared to the stench of rotting flesh. The inflorescence (a collection of flowers acting as one) also generates heat, which allows the stench to travel further. This combination of heat and smell efficiently lures corpse-attracted pollinators, such as carrion beetles and flies, from across long distances.( From: Corpse flowers at U.S. Botanic Garden)
