My mom’s Carrion Flower (stapelia) is blooming like crazy!

Despite what everything says they do not smell at all!

Yes, I would have plants that make "carrion flowers"....

They smell slightly of rotting meat, and the hairs also help mimic the bodies of small carcasses. So, they attract flies to pollinate them!

And yes, the Demogorgon's head was designed to look like their flowers.

All of these pics are of my own plants. The darker, smaller ones, I named "Seymour". They could be Stapelia grandiflora, S. hirsuta, and/or S. asteria. All of those are kind of pink to burgundy with yellow striations... and all very hairy. The big one at the beginning is S. gigantea, and it definitely smells enough to immediately attract flies. I have (at least temporarily) named it "Gorgy".

This one I call "Audrey".

Seymour and Audrey flowers don't smell like much of anything to me.

But I freaking love them all!

Carrion Flower (Stapelia hirsuta)

Family: Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

While most flowering plants produce colourful, sweet-smelling, often nectar-secreting flowers to attract sugar-loving pollinators, the Carrion Flower and its relatives in the genus Stapelia produce hairy, “meaty-red” flowers that are said to smell like rotting flesh. The colour, hairs and smell of these flowers attract species of flies that feed or lay their eggs on carrion, and as these flies often fall for the mimicry of multiple flowers in a single blooming season they serve as pollinators, carrying pollen from male flowers to female flowers and allowing for the production of fertilized seeds, which are attached to cottony parachute-like structures that allow them to be carried away from their parent by wind. Native to western South Africa and southeastern Namibia, Carrion Flowers inhabit dry, arid habitats and are often found growing in shade cast by larger plants, which limits their access to sunlight but slows the rate at which they lose water through evaporation. Lacking well-developed leaves, members of this species respire and carry out photosynthesis using several offshoots of their stem that resemble small cacti, each with a waxy outer surface that partially blocks their stomata to further limit water loss and numerous short spines (actually what remains of their leaves) lining their edges to deter grazing herbivores such as the Cape Grysbok (a small species of antelope endemic to South Africa.) Carrion Flowers bloom in the summer and early autumn/fall, and are monoecious (meaning that every individual plant produces both pollen-producing male flowers and pollen-receiving, seed-producing female flowers.) While humans rarely harvest this species due to its unpleasant smell, it is occasionally cultivated recreationally due to its interesting biology, and the smell of its flowers have reportedly seen some use as an appetite suppressant.

As discussed in Chapters 4 and 5, the Casparian strip is a lignified or suberized layer that forms as rings around the specialized cells of the endodermis (Figure 6.19) and effectively blocks the entry of water and solutes into the stele via the apoplast.

I’ve been in some major art block recently, but i think I’m finally getting out of it! I drew some fanart of a favorite artist of mine, @polarspaz , I am absolutely obsessed with their Au’s. This piece is specifically their Carrion AU where Tim Drake, i.e. Red Robin, is more the teams crazy medic and I love it so much!!

Crime Lesbian Power Couple Adopt Dead Teenage Boy In Exchange For Ghost Weed.

While doing a bit of dimension hopping for science (and for fun) Danny literally stumbles across Poison Ivy when a portal spits him out into her garden. At first, he thinks Undergrowth is messing around in other dimensions to avoid Danny (a logical assumption) and took this woman captive the same way he did Sam. After a brief scuffle they come to an understanding that no, there are no ghosts involved, and Ivy does NOT like uninvited guests.

They part ways more or less amicably.

Some time later while collecting Ghost Nip in the Zone Danny is reminded of Ivy and her extensive collection of exotic plants. He decides to bring one of the ghost plants to Ivy as a gift since he still feels bad for attempting to freeze her other plants (even though his ghost ice didn't affect her living plants, which was his first clue that he messed up). This is when Harley meets him for the first time.

Danny intended to secretly drop off the ghost plant with an apology note and disappear forever but he wasn't expecting Harley to catch him in the act. She thinks Ivy's “pet ghost” is adorable and drags him and his “uber cute apology gift” all the way over to Ivy, encouraging her gf to accept his offering.

Ivy inspects the ghost plant.

"It's adequate."

"She loves it."

They settle on an agreement wherein Ivy helps Danny grow certain plants and in exchange he brings her cool, rare species from all throughout the ghost zone. Sometimes it's endangered or extinct plants from other timelines or dimensions. Sometimes it's just a personal favorite of hers and stupid things like shipping embargoes and international laws prevent her from getting them herself.

As for the Ghost Nip, its like cat nip (obviously) but also acts as a nice painkiller since most human medications no longer work on Danny’s wack biology. Ivy's garden becomes a sort of sanctuary for him beyond their plant exchange. It's a safe, peaceful place to relax and recuperate where none of his enemies can track him down. Plus Harley is super fun to hang out with when she's not distracted making moon eyes at Ivy (which is most of the time). “Snake Danny” as Harley likes to call him when he's got his ghostly tail out, features heavily. Basking and hanging out in trees like a giant python. He also uses his never-melting-ghost-ice to fix some of the broken glass in Ivy's green houses.

“No Danny, you can't make the whole thing from ice because it would be too cold for the plants but thank you for the offer anyway.”

Danny has zero awareness of this dimension outside of Ivy's garden.

23rd July 2023: Andrews Mare in the New Forest

Pictures taken in this set are of: 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Views on what was a great walk around, I really liked being out in the open, vast and undulating landscape with the rich varied emerald colour of the thick gorse and bracken, and the heather just starting to come into flower and give the landscape a hint of purple. 2. Mushroom. 3. Some of that heather, common heather, which I enjoyed seeing there was lovely bell heather too. 4. Rowan berries which was nice to see. 9. Another Silver Y moth I loved seeing lately. 10. Hawksbit with a bee or hoverfly on.

In some time doing a Big Butterfly Count here bright and colourful Painted Lady, stalwart lately Red Admiral, Holly Blue and a few eyecatching Gatekeepers were highlights with Meadow Brown and Small White also seen. I got special views of charming Linnet, sharp and chirping Meadow Pipit and Buzzard soaring on the walk as well as surprisingly for such a rural spot a House Sparrow in a tree. Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Chaffinch heard, lesser spearwort looking nice in water, tormentil, daisy, bird's-foot trefoil and apples on an apple tree were also good to see.

my favourite swearing expression rhese days is jebane ścierwo (fucking carcass but with a cooler synonym for fucking) i say it all the time but mostly quietly in my head when i'm annoyed

#carcass sounds more vulgar than carrion (to me) #carrion reminds me Chelsea Wolfe and her Carrion Flowers so of something dark and mysterious #moje
