At long last I now know the name of this very smelly flower. I have had this tree for about 20 years now but it has only flowered once and the smell was really awful. The tree is very fasinating because of the way the leaves join each other. I have given bulbs away to many many people as they are all very taken up with the tree. I am not too sure what they will think of the smell of the flower. Which by the way looks great.

I have a plant I've had for years & never have known what it is. I posted a pic of it on Dave's Garden & on some yahoo groups & most replied that it is a voodoo lily. It looks nothing like the pics I've seen of them though & in 12 yrs. it's never flowered. It has a large unusual shaped leaf & a speckled stem & comes up in June in my zone 7.

I have two getting ready to open soon on back porch! Although I am so excited to finally have them bloom....hmm...I'm a little scared to have them bloom inside. This should be an interesting weekend! LOL!

we had a corpse flower in bloom up here at the Univ. of Connecticut last year that drew in masses of people. They were probably rushing out because of the stench though. A very excellent flower indeed!!!!

If it smells any worse than Bradford Pear trees in the Springtime, I would run the other direction quickly.

What a bizarre flower!!!!!

Does anyone know if the TickleMe Plant flowers have a smell.I don't think they smell like the Voodoo plant. I only got them to flower once and I can't remember if they were fragrant? All I remember is my kids tickling the plant and it lowered it branches and closed all its leaves. Oh and Martha add the TickleMe Plant to your Halloween creation mentioned in the other comment!Thanks

Would anyone have the recipe for the white sauce Martha made for her Indian-Spiced chicken with Raita on today's show Wed. Mar. 26? The chicken recipe was on her website but not the sauce. I would love to serve it with my chicken too. Thank you.

Hi Martha,

You had a segment on the show about toparies years ago! You had a man who was an expert-he specialized in the 'Edward Sissor Hands' style of garden toparies. How can I find him?
