Inceidentally this conversation on stinky flowers reminds me of a
humourous website about some of these flowers. its
at:http://daphne.palomar.edu/wayne/ww0602.htm
its quite humorous and includes photographs. If you , look around the
site, there are other articles on other plants, and plant phenomena
also. Its worth a look (many pictures on each page) The sites called
"Wayne's Word" and is created by a professor at Palomar College in
southern California. Here's a quote from the carrion flower page:
"DISCLAIMER: The staff at WAYNE'S WORD assumes no
responsibility for using any of the following flowers in a bouquet,
corsage or floral arrangement. The size and weight of some of
these blossoms could cause serious back injury if they are pinned
to your lapel. In addition, they could negatively affect a loving
relationship with a friend or spouse, especially when their floral
stench attracts carrion insects and maggots! [WPA 1 June 1996]"
