Corpse Flower- Lois
Today we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see "Lois" . Below is a description.
A flower found in Indonesia is the Amorphophallus titanum, or Titan arum. It is also known as the "corpse flower" for its unpleasant odor. The Titan emits the smell of rotting flesh to attract pollinators. Technically, the Titan arum is not a single flower. It is a cluster of many tiny flowers, called an inflorescence. The Titan arum has the largest unbranched inflorescence of all flowering plants. The plant can reach heights of 7 to 12 feet and weigh as much as 170 pounds!

Another Blog :)
I have been thinking of starting a garden blog for some time. I love to work in my yard and it is a work in progress. Having a blog will also help me keep track of the yard through the seasons. Hope you enjoy!
