GIANT STINKY PLANT!!!! You know, the Giant Voodoo Lily (Amorphophallus Titanum) - the one that smells like rotting flesh???

I received this bizarre catalog in the mail from Plant Delights, with all kinds of strange and um.... unusual plants in it. From them, you can order the voodoo lily in many sizes/species, right up to the giant 15 foot tall one!! YIKES!!

I know we can't link to a 'selling' website, but here's how to get there: The company is called Plant Delights (just add a .com), and then they have a link to their shopping area. (Now, please do not crash their website by all running over to order one!!!LOL!!)

How crazy is that??? Just what every gardener needs!!!

Here's a link to a post Amid made about the plant last year:

Gee, thanks! Just what I need! LOL LOL LOL

BTW....does anyone have Scotch Broom in their yards??? I did for awhile....absolutely LOVED the yellow flowers to death! Then one day I cut a bunch of stems, brought them inside and started to sniff.....and sniff.....and sniff......

NASTIEST DARN SMELL I EVER ENCOUNTERED IN A PLANT!!!!


I kept thinking it was me. Left it there all day so it perfumed the whole house. My DH came in and almost fell over......WHAT IS THAT SMELL IN THE HOUSE!!??


Needless to say, that was the last time I cut it......

If I got one of those, I'd have to plant hundreds of stargazers just to be able to go outside! My neighbors would call the cops on me, for they would be sure that I was burying corpses in the backyard...

Okay, who's going to order one? I for one, will pass on this specimen! YUCK!!

..from Amid's link...

"The huge phallic flower has now unfurled to reveal its blood-red interior...and the plant has begun to heat up, giving off a pungent aroma described as a mixture of rotting flesh and excrement."


LOL Sorcerormickey, thanks for the smile!
