    I must say, that is an unusual penis.

    It was funny watching the time-lapsed photography, as it included some rain, sun and darkness as well!

    I've seen this flower on t.v. before. It's also called the corpse flower because of it's foul fragrance that is said to smell like rotting flesh. I think I'd prefer just to view it in pictures tho, and let those with a strong stomach, view it up close and personal!

    Like Ellie, I also know it as the corpse flower, due to the smell.

    The time lapse image is fascinating!

    Karen, it must have been something else you've seen, because the plant is inside in the palm house.

    The flower does smell like rotting meat and is also called a "Corpse Flower", like some of you mention. I didn't go and see it.

    It must have a sprinkler system in the greenhouse, which made it seem like "rain!"
