And smell like dead elephant to attract carrion beetles and flies to carry your pollen. XD

Thank goodness orchids don't smell like this!!

P.S. - I'm trying to figure out whether I'm brave enough to go smell this thing when it opens..O_O!

That's really cool! Thanks for sharing that! If it were me, (if I were closer Lol) I would go see it, these guys don't seem to flower that often, & you never kno, you might not have another chance! And if it stinks too bad, you can always leave (or run Lol)

Lorna, you should get into collecting species, a lot of them are fragrant, and then you'll have an excuse to buy more orchids... and we all know they get sad if any are left out...
