I am so tired of seeing paintings of flowers EVERYWHERE. If I see one more flower painting I am going to puke (dramatic effect) sooo I decided to to do my own paining of a flower that literally will make you gag. With a bit of help from Wikipedia (don't judge) and my ultimate information source (Chris) I have a 'beautiful' painting of a flower with a gruesome twist. I introduce you to the Titan Arum, a flower that grows on the edges of Rainforests and blooms up to 10ft tall. This flower smells like decomposing flesh and imitates it's red color in order to attract beetles and 'flesh flies' which it eats and uses to pollinate. Also known as the "Corpse Flower" for it's repulsive scent. Not only is it the color of flesh but it also has the same texture as a piece of meat. During a certain time of blooming the large tip, becomes warm giving the same effect of human flesh. AH! How's that for a flower painting.
