STOPNice flowers and interesting information about this amazing large flower.
Thanks for upvoting my post and I followed you.
Oh, this flower is very similar to one of my houseplants. Only mine's much smaller. The flowers of my plants terribly unpleasant smell, hoping to attract the flies. And this plant also has an unpleasant odor? Perhaps they are related?
