Golden Parrot’s Beak

The Golden Parrot’s Beak is a perennial flower native to the Canary Islands. According to Wikipedia, "This plant is widely cultivated but is either extinct in the wild or persists as a few individuals. In 1884 it was already classed as "exceedingly rare" and plant collection probably hastened its decline."

The Corpse Flower

The Corpse Flower is a huge flowering plant that is native to Sumatra. I can get to be a whopping ten feet tall. That is amazing on its own, but do you wonder how it got its bizarre name? It gets its name because it has the odor that matches that of a rotting corpse. Delightful, right?
