There's something rotten at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and it's a nearly 5 feet tall flower. The corpse flower is an extremely rare plant that smells like rotting meat when open. Apparently, that's a crowd pleaser -- the museum is staying open 24 hours during the flowering.


I'm thinking about checking this out on friday.
Should be cool! and stinky!!!!

 

I came in this thread thinking you were gonna ask where to get one of these for your own home. I was disappointed.

 

If I like it enough, I might have to take it home!!!!

 

That's a big flower.

 

Looks like something out of charlie and the chocolate factory

 

are there oompa loompas in there?

 

Maybe I'll put one in my SIL's room.

 

That'll set her straight.

 

 

Just put an open can of tuna or a pound of ground beef in her air vent... that'll do the job

 

It already smells like tuna in there...

 

Gross.
you didnt kick her out yet?

 

She's moving out in 10 days because she's moving to Vegas to be a nanny.

 

Tell her to wash her vagina.

 

Momentary threadjack, sorry

Wonderful news, congratulations.

 

nah, saw it coming with Gatr's first post.
Mods can change the title too Gatr's SIL part 2.

 

people at my office are taking off to smell this thing...

who's SIL? Is it worth looking it up? Been away awhile.

 

Gatr had posted a thread about his Sister in law...
but i am going friday to view and smell this flower.

 

Why all the excitement about something that stinks?
