corpse flower

Tomorrow there will be a pilgrimage up to the Berkeley botanical garden to see a rarely-blooming plant whose flowers resemble rotting flesh. !!! It doesn't get much better than this!

far, far away for the tobin visit...again

the flowers just look like flowers.

the odor approximates rotting flesh.

i wish i could be there. i'm really quite distraught that i can't, because apparently the smell only lasts days and the bloom itself only a few weeks.
