Amorphophallus konjac
This smelly beauty is currently in blooming my greenhouse... I call it Emily, as I am sure that the Corpse Bride would have smelled exactly like this plant...

My wife would kill me if I grew one of those. But at least then when the neighbors complained about the smell of my rotting corpse she could say it was the flower.

Mine are still too young/small to bloom but that's okay -- I grow them for the foliage.

another OB member who lives not too far from me, grew these (or another quite similar) in her yard - they eventually removed them because of the smell ...

How long do they put out that scent? The variety I have, the scent only last about 4 to 6 hours.
