Saw you added some for me and just love them to death. I am drooling and still nabbing ideas. You are sooo creative. Will yak at ya more later. Trying to get my mom downsized from a huge home and 50 years of marriage into a small apartment for independent living. To top it off she is obsessive compulsive and saves every stinken little piece of paper. At least she can help sort...good thing because I might of just got a back hoe with a scoop and just scooped it in the trash!!! LOL Later and keep up the pix I'm looking forward to all the new additions. * * * * Plants: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 68.66.244.5 weezie13 Compost Queen!

Those are AWESOME smelling plants, Ah, who is it, somebody grows them here, Flower Crazy in Georgia................ She's got some pictures around here on one of those web~shot things too!! Beautiful flowers and smell....Mmmmmm..... You need some of those to counter act the smell from the Carrion ones.... Have you ever seen pictures of those huge ones? I think it's the largest flowering flower or however you word it, it's in the world book of records.... I think they're about the same color too. I got a quick peak into the book too, I have to go back and check out the white X~mas cactus too!! Thank~You again!!

Weezie, I think the largest flowering plant might be at The Huntington Gardens...I'll have to go peek at their site to make sure.. Oh, and my Mother of Thousands is getting ready to bloom! A visiting nurseyman said he'd never seen one this tall in a private garden Once they bloom, they're goners, though. I'll post pics as soon as the big event takes place... * * * * Plants: 409 | From: Los Angeles - Hollywood Hills | Registered: Oct 2003  |  Seeded: 67.123.40.237 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       Weezie are you talking about the one that only blooms every sooo many years and stinks really bad. I don't know the name of that one either!

Member # 772 posted                       The one that's the largest flower, to my understanding, only blooms once! after it blooms, it dies......... It's really tall, about 6, 7, I don't know, 8ft tall! Looks like it comes out of a cabbage head or something... Maybe Papito or Bill knows the name of it?? (I think it's in the 2003 records book, I think it's in all of them...There's none bigger) Weezie * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
