That is very pretty. Too bad it doesn't have a pleasant odor and I grow in the home. I like the form and color and, being that large, it must be striking.

Beautiful!! Though I'm glad there's a PC screen between me and it! What does it stink like? Carrion?

Beautiful flower. Part of me wants one. The other part realizes it would need to stay someplace other than in the house.
