hey @SMdoubleXL

 

 thought you might find this interesting

 

 Titan Arum (aka the Corpse flower)

 

flowers for 24-48 hours every 7-10 years. 

 

Flower opened up on sunday afternoon so i took kids to see it today. it was pretty much shrivelled by this time but still pretty cool. think it's the biggest flower on earth.

lots of people went to see it but I believe the smell had dissipated by the time we got there. the really pungent dead flesh smell is the first day apparently.IMG_6711.thumb.jpg.f62bdb5aec66f0cf015a252fb48d2399.jpg

 

 

trying to explain to the kids "yes we did spend 45 minutes in line to see this"

@anybody_wanna_peanut?and I met up here in Pittsburgh and we went to the conservatory here. It’s my (1 of 2) favorite places to visit here.
the corpse flower was there during that visit and this is the stage we caught it at.

I made up these legos and the plan was to make a thread or a day in pies post  here on 12 about our meet up and the things we saw using these legos. We never made the thread but here’s a few pics 

RIP CJ

@LUGR word, I actually don’t even know which those are but I am assuming the elephant ear is the big joint.

 

I think that was advertised as a Jurassic Plant when I bought it at Home Depot. 

 

It has sprouted like 3 or 4 leaves in the 3 months I have had it. 

These are the ones.

 

So many cool croton varieties. I especially like the mammys and sloppy painters.
