Dude, Pull My Finger

Dude, that ain't a finger.

The scientific name of the plant is "Amorphallus titanum." That's Latin for: "Not only does this plant look like a dick, it looks like a huge dick."

Thank you for telling me where this flower is. Everyone keeps asking me if that flower is in Ft. Lauderdale, but the only thing that stinks here is my job. Mad props to Fabe and Larry for all the geeky info.

Actually let's break it down:

"Amor" - Love
"phallus" - Penis
"Titanum" - Huge

So it's Huge Love Dick. Elephants beware.

Dude, i was surfing online and I came across your site. pretty cool. The daily nugget section is totally rad. but i disagree with your comments on encino. you see...i'm from encino and the "stinky bloom" is the best thing that's ever happend to our city. flower advocates come from all over the world to see the amorphophallus titanum flower!!! you have to check it out...its amazing!!! Maybe to outsiders...encino might seem a bit boring...but its the complete opposite. there's great karioke bars, dirt bike trails, etc. I thought about moving out of town, but I've decided to stay put at the Mourningside Trailer and Mobile Facility. Great Staff and great neighbors.
