[...] Carrion Flower (or Dead Horse plant from this earlier post) has outdone itself with a massive flower bud. The smell will be undelievably [...]

Oh, the carrion flower!
I had a different variety, and would watch ~very~ closely and put it outside when it bloomed
Stinky, amazing plant!

Thanks Brenda – hope the collage turned out the way you hoped in the end!

How is it possible that such a beautiful bloom can turn the stomach so!
Get shots of the flower, clear and crisp though apparently not the air around it

Darn wish I had gotten your advise before I grabbed the gesso and started over on that collage!

Sharon, it’s quite exotic to me as well (that smell!) – I’m sure the Venus Fly Trap would appreciate it as a neighbour!

Diane, do you have many photos of the plants/flowers from PNG? It would be a botonist’s dream come true. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Hope Sydney is treating you well!

Oooh they stink, I remember them in new Guinea. they look exotic though. glad you are home safe and sound. It must be hard living so far away when your mum is sick.

Cool plant, very exotic to me as a Canuck! Don’t know if I would want that smell around either though. It would be interesting next to a Venus fly trap.
