Some plants of the milkweed family produce carrion flowers,or flowers that emit a pungent odour resembling decaying flesh,to attract flies and carrion beetles. Flies and carrion beetles are the primary pollinators for the plants. The South African Giant Toad Plant,Stapelia gigantea,produces a beautiful but malodorous flower. Photographed in 2009 | |
