When I got home yesterday afternoon, I walked the garden. It needs a little tending… some weeding here and there, and some pruning. I was excited to see that my dragon lily plant is blooming. The plant got really big this year because it was warm early, then cooled again. Usually, spring gets hot quickly and the dragon lily withers. Since the plant is so big, I have multiple flowers. Woo hoo! And apparently, they’ve already been open a couple of days, because they didn’t smell like rotting meat. Woo hoo! Maybe if they’re still blooming tomorrow, I’ll try cutting one of the flowers and putting it in a vase for Bible study night.
Ha! I just talked about this with a parent yesterday. She found a bizarre object in her yard and showed me a photo of it last week. It looked like some kind of wrong mushroom to me. She got it checked out and yes, it turns out that it’s a mushroom that smells like a dead thing so it can attract bugs. I shared your weird ‘rotten meat’ plant story.
Your “flowers” scare me. Also, where did you get that little tiny person to hold it for scale?
