(sorry...don't smell the flower)<br /><br />For folks accustomed to the pleasant aroma of honeysuckle and roses it may seem strange for a flower to produce "Eau de Landfill," but such odor merely demonstrates that different plants competing for different pollinators may do so in different ways. While some flowers attract insects with sweet smells, others such as Carrion Flowers--including our classroom Stapelia gigantea and the closely related S. mutabilis (above right)--produce a fragrance that brings in various dipterans (flies) and other insects more accustomed to feeding on roadkills. <br />(if you notice a lot of flies coming in the house...you might want to move the plant outside)Skoots1moMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062108140123899280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158760821753181416.post-78069243752594945982011-02-27T20:01:35.535-03:002011-02-27T20:01:35.535-03:00That flower is soo cool!
