Anybody who lives in the LA area & hasn't heard about "Stinky",
contact the Huntington. Stinky
is a giant flower - supposed to be largest in the world -- which
blooms only every few years. Smell
is supposed to be, uh, unbelievable. They're waiting for bloom
opening, any day now. Caused a huge sensation last time it opened; hit
all the media. So I hope to fight my way through the crowds when word
comes that it's opened.

Yup, I got several Amorphophallus konjacs this spring. 2 of them are
4+ pounders!

Yep. They have name on sign at site.

The "phallus" part is self-evident snicker

I rushed out first day the Huntington sent an email alert,
but didn't get full effect. Not much smell, for one thing,
and it wasn't wide open. Staff said it had opened late
previous night and early next morning, briefly, but
when I got there it was only partially open. Still, a fascinating
experience. Crowds were good-natured, letting people
take pix in turn.

They were selling "Stinky" plants in front of the bookstore
for $250 a pop. You could have your very own "Stinky"
garden party in due course, complete with smell.

Will I make it to the next time? Stay tuned g

Ah, brings back memories.
Should be just like riding a bike,
only completely different.

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure

(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah

Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
