The big ugly phallus flower in the background. (Other) gawkers in the foreground.   The flower itself - perhaps a day past its prime but still looking pretty good. A young plant of the same species to the left.   The flower as seen from above - no colour adjustment, just the nastiness and washout produced by the flash.   An Amorphophallus titanum at Kew Gardens. A fairly uneventful occasion, compared to the first flowering of this plant in Australia a few years earlier: #i455eba0146  An Amorphophallus titanum at Kew Gardens.
