IDENTIFY THIS PLANT!!!! :) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

K-Wise · 10-17-2004, 04:07 PM

So my sis got her new apartment and right next to the door was a pot with this here plant on it. Attracting flies. I remember this plant from my biology book. Though kind of pretty looking...it has a putrid smell. I forgot what the damn thing was called. Thankfully though, the phrase <i>Stinky Plant</i> managed to turn up a picture of it on google. So if anyone knows what it's called...shout me a holla dun!

It's too big to put in here so I give you <a href=http://www.digital-orrery.com/files/20030926k.jpg>the plant</a>

Asta!!

AHAH!!! There it is. I guess I shoulda kept on searching under stinky plant. Yeah thats what the fucker is called. Yeah the thing was right by thier door attracting a shit load of flies...a friend of thiers ripped the thing off the cactus and threw it in the dumpster. His hand smelled aweful as a result. Dumbass was asking for some soap and water later. It didn't really get rid of the smell all that well though.

Asta!!

I don't know about the stinkie plant in the foreground, but I know about the plant in the background. It is an epiphilium. It is a tropical cactus and gets some absolutly wonderful flowers. Throw out the stinkie plant, but hang on to the one in the back. Better yet let us have a picture of its flower when it does flower. You will truely be amazed.

Asta!!
