And for being published, too. Woot! Woot! I had no idea there was such a flower in my life. It looks a little bit evil, in a beautiful way. Is that spikey thing the stamen? What other scary, but lovely plants do you have growing around there? ~Lisa New Mexico Congrats to you for such a wild and wonderful photo! And for being published, too. Woot! Woot!

The third state, all by itself over in the southeastern part of the US, is Tennessee. Beats me why TN is the only state not on the west coast that has this plant! Fortunatley, the stink doesn't last very long. It's worst on the first day or two.
