Big Stinky Flower!
This is a shot of me next to a Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum... Which actually translates to "giant deformed penis" if you were wondering)
Anywho, this is a rare blooing event that took place at a local university near my home. I could tell you all about it, but the folks who run the greenhouse can do it much better.

No need to C+C this one, its just a gimme shot.

Oh and isn't there a different, larger flower like this in England that stinks even worse and only blossoms like once every century or something?

Have not heard of that one. The largest flower in the world is found in indonesia and like this one, smells of rotting meat. The Rafflesia arnoldii can be about three foot across. The main difference between the one above and this one is the Titan is actually an inflorence, or cluster of flowers where the Rafflesia is a single bloom.
That is interesting about there being a long bloom cycle flower in England. I will have to do some digging on that one.
