I had to wait in line 2 hrs to get into the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco, but we saw it. The flower is named after its odor, which resembles rotting meat to entice scavenger insects into pollinating it. It smells truly foul. 8/10 experience, highly recommend.
Also, how do i make Alt text for an image post?
Its Latin name is “Amorphophallus titan”.
Do you think that’s because they named it before they saw it bloom? It’s a great name, but omits the signature feature of the plant. Probably because it’s special move is so rare.
So I’m guessing tonight you also SMELLED one.
Oh yeah.
It doesn’t smell identical to rotting meat, but it certainly smells like rotting something.
It’s truly foul. You smell it and think, “So I guess this is what decaying carrion smells like to bugs”. It’s so putrid. The line wended through the conservatory, and we started smelling it rooms away.
Is that the plant that was on Denis the menace?
