  • socialdork, on 04/27/2008, -0/+44It looks like it wants you to look real really close and then eat you!
    I can honestly say if I was on a hike and saw a flower the size of a giant umbrella I'd freakin stop, back up a little and then turn around and run.
    • ELiTe185, on 04/27/2008, -2/+20I thought they all looked like giant vaginas...
    • Renegade.eit, on 04/27/2008, -0/+24. Amorphophallus: means, literally, "shapeless penis." The name comes from the shape of the erect black spadix.
      • SubaruPowah, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1Yeah, it's weird that I already knew that because of my avid ability to read.
  • ritita, on 04/27/2008, -5/+15A plant is a giant reproductive organ.
    • tambird, on 04/27/2008, -0/+8Well Hydrona appears ready to receive the Dracunculus vulgaris. What a name.
    • defectDS, on 04/27/2008, -0/+36Vagina Plant, Check.

    • alexanEmpire, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1Well then....why don't you suck my plant?
    • Triskozko, on 04/27/2008, -0/+5You mean a flower? A plant is an entire living thing.
  • discodave12, on 04/27/2008, -2/+342. Hydnora Africana
    I wouldn't even want to know what that was. I would be runnnnniiinng.
  • kterrance, on 04/27/2008, -2/+22If they are soooo large and put on such a display, why do they smell so bad? Seriously rotting flesh? That woman has a gas mask on.
    • digghandyman, on 04/27/2008, -0/+11To attract bugs. Either they find that smell good or they area attracted to nasty things.
    • FatLoser, on 04/27/2008, -1/+19quit talking about my girlfriend's vagina you son of a bitch.
    • LucidHawk, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2The visually weirdest plants also have the strangest odor..
      Interestingly all 4 of those first 4 plants supposedly smell like dead animals..
  • Bajayjay, on 04/27/2008, -6/+4One of the plants can live 400 to 1500 years. Kind of begs the question how they know?
    • tinafey, on 04/27/2008, -0/+3I can't keep a plant alive more than a year.

      • badjoke, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2Badum....tish.
    • SRSco, on 04/27/2008, -2/+3It raises the question. It doesn't beg the question.
    • Supurcell, on 04/27/2008, -1/+1I would imagine they just count the rings on its trunk like they do with trees.
  • MTessa, on 04/27/2008, -0/+8I guess you can see where the pods for the movie Invasion of The Body Snatchers came from. On dark foggy night I'm thinking Hydrona is going to eat me.
  • cunorskbear, on 04/27/2008, -0/+25Feed me seymour. Feed me all night long!!!

        • MikeWanDo, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1It must be pretty new, but I've seen it on two digg comment sections today. Someone please let me know what this is because google isn't helping.
      • avonwodahs, on 04/28/2008, -0/+2tilt your head left...
        • KMartSheriff, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1Oooohhh at first I thought it was a ninja or something, but then I got it.
  • DigglyBits, on 04/27/2008, -0/+4That first one is really cool. That would make one hell of a garden. I think i'd ultimately pass since apparently they can move...no roots????
  • elambing, on 04/27/2008, -0/+4the first one never ceases to creep me out. i hate things like that...
  • FatLoser, on 04/27/2008, -2/+11"...projects a slender, black appendage."

    "Amorphophallus: means, literally, "shapeless penis." The name comes from the shape of the erect black spadix."

  • willr001, on 04/27/2008, -9/+2Amorphophallus is the genus or family or whatever of the corpse flower, which blooms every 15 years. I got to see one blooming two or three weeks ago at the como zoo conservatory here in saint paul, MN. It was the second day of it blooming, so it didn't smell as bad as i hoped, but you still could catch wiffs of it, and i felt vaguely nauseous for like 30 minutes afterwards.

    Oh, and this is another example of a list that doesn't count down!!! NUMBER ONE GOES AT THE BOTTOM YOU ASS CLOWNS
    • MrSlumberjack, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2you ruined an interesting comment with an ignorant remark
