That's a huge flower!

It sounds like something in a cartoon:

It's an immense flower, as big as a man, grows right out of the ground and not from a bush or anything

It's gorgeous, vivid bright red

And it stanks, and draws flies, which pollinate it!

It sounds like something from a cartoon, or a Saturday Night Live skit, but it is real!

It's called Raffelsia, and it's very real!

It's gorgeous!

And it really does stink and draw flies which pollinate it!

Our world is weird!  Fun weird!

God loves you!  Look to the light!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
