Germans have biggest corpse plant ever

Here's another of those names in which the Latin sounds better than the English. The world's tallest -- and smelliest -- flower, a giant "corpse flower" has bloomed, reaching a height of over 9 feet more than the previous record for the species, the Stuttgart botanical garden said on Friday. My family and I have seen these in the wild hiking in the rain forests of Borneo. It looks like its from another planet and man does it stinks to high heaven of putrid meat, attracting flies and beetles for miles around. We need one of these in Utah but we don't have a tropical arboretum, only a desert one.
