When it blooms, maybe they will put another webcam on the line of people so we can see all the retching and gagging...that would be really entertaining...

One of those bloomed at the Univerisity of Wisconsin when I was there, and then in did it again a year or two later. I was always trying to avoid the crowds, though, so I missed 'em til they were passed their prime. Cool stuff, though.

Do they sell seeds for the corpse flower?  Our new house has a backyard, and I'm sure the neighbors would love...

It would maybe be easier just to plant a corpse. But you live in LA, right? I'd just wait a year or two - maybe one's already growing.

I guess linking to the poem on Plagiarist.com would have been out of the question, eh?

Man, a "Waste Land" reference to be made, and I missed it. I feel awkward and ashamed, much like the maculate giraffe.
