**YOU MAY LOOK PRETTY, BUT, OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A PERFUME!!

Hi DD. How are you. My friend had one of these, he bought it for the same reason as you, curiosity. I agree it is a dreadful smell, but like you, he has kept it. His is in the garden and has increased and he has had several flowers.

I grew Drarunculus vulgaris, which stinks, but the spathe is spectacular. Next door was cleaning out their wheelie bin, because they thought the stench of rotten meat was from there, not the other side of the fence. Lol. I ended up putting a poly bag over it!

Not sure what to say about this Dd, I think amongst a border of lilies and suchlike it would look good, the name has put me off to be honest, it might sound daft but add the word voodoo to anything and I go cold, I think I watched the wrong movies when I was younger, lol......

I'm with you there Lincslass that made me laugh, but very unusual plant Dd :)

Hi Cinders how are you? hope all is well not heard from you for ages....I think we will put this one in the garden perhaps between a couple of heavily scented lilies......
Siris I can understand your neighbour thinking it was her bin!!
Lol Linc's it does have other names, I can assure you there is no black magic going on here!!
Daylily it is quite beautiful in a grotesque kind of way!!

LOL.

Lol..be careful what you wish for!

It looks eerie :( although I can't help liking it. I hope the smell goes away son.

Hi DD, I'm fine thanks, lots been going on, family and house, but hopefully I shall be back on now, if only occasionally. I have been trying to keep up with whats been going on here.

It certainly is unusual Dd , and you have been rewarded for your patience .
I just wonder what sort of insects if will attract ?

Flies most likely

Am I allowed to say that I don't think I want one of these!!!

I am pleased to have seen it though and am off to bury my nose in a bunch of pinks that I bought at the farm shop!!!

x

Driad large ugly ones most probably......
Wildrose you are allowed to say whatever you like..... I think the smell is getting fainter, or am I getting used to it?
Hywel eerie is a good word.....

Fascinating plant , maybe febreeze it lol .

I think I would put it somewhere near the compost bin as wouldn't want nasty smell to spoil the perfume of something nice.
