It is currently 60 inches tall and growing.

most bloom just once in their lives. This will be the 29th to bloom in the USA since they were found in Sumatra back in the day.

rotten flesh!

lovely Rob, get a good whiff.

EVOLghost · 07.13.2010, 08:01 PM

Neat!

ann ashtray · 07.13.2010, 08:43 PM

Sounds fun, Rob.

!@#$%! · 07.13.2010, 11:21 PM

does it really smell like corpse? i've sniffed a corpse or two and it's beyond stinky.

Rob Instigator · 07.14.2010, 09:20 AM

FUCK it stinks and last night when I left it had not opened fully yet. I could not get the rotten flesh smell out of my nose until this morning.
wrote about it on -FUPPETS-
The people there had bottles of Vicks vap-o-rub for when it does open fully. The first two hours are NOXIOUS.

took a short movie clip, lets you see how big it is.

These plants are very rare, so yes, there is a cop there to shoot a fucker who tries to mess with it!

Green_mind · 07.14.2010, 09:26 AM

^ I was gonna say get us some cuttings, we could splice it with skunk flowers and make millions, "the stinkiest shit in town".

Rob Instigator · 07.14.2010, 09:40 AM

Mario damn, the idea of inhaling a lungful of that stench as smoke is so repulsive!

space · 07.14.2010, 05:41 PM

I have a very strict rule about NOT smelling stuff that I'm told is bad.

ie: "this fish smells rotten...smell it." "NO", "what's that spot on the carpet? smell it." "NO", "ewwww smell my finger." "NO", "let's go to houston and smell the corpse flower. it takes a full day to get the smell out of yr nose." "NO".

so far, this rule serves me well.

ps: is there a death metal band named after this flower, and if not, why not???

I'm on it, 'shed a tear at the noxious odour of lucifer's rotting flesh' will be my first song.

Rob Instigator · 07.15.2010, 08:32 AM

no shit huh space?

Amorphophallus Titania

That sounds like a great doom song

Lamont Cranston · 07.16.2010, 12:22 AM

since its a museum of natural science in Texas, do their other displays have disclaimer notices declaring evolution is just a theory and that sort of thing?

Rob Instigator · 07.16.2010, 09:14 AM

Nope. But they do have a "Hall of Petroleum" !!!

The oil industry ponied up lots of dough for the museum when it was first being built so there is a huge display in the basement for kids to learn all about the "oil industry"

ha!
