[edit] Questions
Okay here is a question about carrion flowers for all you brainacs out there:
A Carrion Flower has a very strage characteristc. It looks like a balloon before it opens. What can the carrion flower accomplish with it's smell? Posted by 10:39, 2006 October 1 User:207.250.233.43
Carrion flower refers to more than one type of plant, as it is a common name, not a scientific name. However, as the article states, the scent of carrion flowers attracts pollinators, pollinators that are attracted to rotting flesh, like some flies and beetles. KP Botany 00:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I copied some info from the various species from their wiki pages to add to the article. KP Botany 01:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggested plants for addition to this article
The Stapelias should be discussed. Are there any other types that have this characteristic? Drutt 13:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
