3. I was noticing the phallic shape, thinking it would balance off all those tomatoes.

5. Man oh man

Is that ever cool. I'm taken. Wow. We have no comparison in Idaho. Anything like it, is a hothouse variety.

And I thought my clamatis were looking good.

6. Yikes!

That thing alone should be enough to keep the Bambis at bay! That is one intimidating flower.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. it is 6 feet tall!

10. And drives a Corvette, presumably?

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. OK - that's enough. My last giggle of the night! Off to bed.....

[LaydeeBug]

8. wow. Just...wow. nt

9. That is really incredible.

Go smell it and let us know if it stinks. I can't believe you haven't checked that out---it would have been my first thought.

But then again, I am rather morbid.

12. Ha! I was thinking of stinkhorns...

They attract flies.

I "received some relatives of that , after Hurricane Fran blew in. But actually what I got, did not resemble this particular photo--what I had was small and orange and smelled like something dead.

I think NRaleighLiberal would have noticed by now.
....unless it takes time for them to "fully" ripen".

13. I am always fascinated

by the adaptations that some plants and animals have evolved to succeed. The flowers that smell like something dead are so cool. Even if they are small and orange. I wonder what that is.

[NCarolinawoman]

14. Yeah, I am fascinated by that stuff.

I have seen slimemold in a friend's yard--it looks like flattened egg yokes that move--only too slow for the naked eye to see. Friend told me that he read something new about it and that it has some kind of brain or something. I will have to look THAT ONE up!

Just looked up stink horns and I read that they attract a lot of flies that spread the spores! Also, they can smell like dog poo. Hard to get rid of. Hope NorthRaleighLiberal checks in soon!

15. Well, hell, girl.

If you are there, and he obviously is not going to check it out, go do it for him. I would, I would be excited to see it.
