Like anyone cares.

I finally saw a real, live amorphophallus titanum (corpse flower) yesterday evening. It was at UC Davis, so we drove all the way out there to see it. It was pretty big as far as flowers go, but probably not as big as some of the others that have had news coverage in the last couple of years. It smelled like.....a plant. Maybe the big ones smell worse. I'm glad I got to see it, but the smell was a bit of a let down. Next on the list of things to see and do before I die: see an octopus beak.
