This is a gaint flower looking like an Alien monuments.
The odour is pungent . It only flowers a few times in its 40 year life. scent experts have broken down the odour as the smell of Limburger cheese, sweaty socks, mothballs, rotting fish AND A SWEET FLORAL SCENT!

nepenthes
This scooped shaped plant is also known as monkey cups. Baby Rainforest monkeys drink from the cups. The whole intent of the flower is to be a death trap for large insects and small birds who drown in its pool of water.
