Questions
Okay here is a question about carrion flowers for all you brainacs out there:

A Carrion Flower has a very strage characteristc. It looks like a balloon before it opens. What can the carrion flower accomplish with it's smell? Posted by 10:39, 2006 October 1 User:207.250.233.43

Carrion flower refers to more than one type of plant, as it is a common name, not a scientific name. However, as the article states, the scent of carrion flowers attracts pollinators, pollinators that are attracted to rotting flesh, like some flies and beetles. KP Botany 00:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I copied some info from the various species from their wiki pages to add to the article. KP Botany 01:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Suggested plants for addition to this article
The Stapelias should be discussed. Are there any other types that have this characteristic? Drutt 13:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I added this genus and an image of it as well. Peace, Earthdirt 19:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

How about the pawpaws of genus Asimina? The pawpaw article desribes the flowers as fetid, and links here. Rojomoke (talk) 12:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The pawpaw's that grow in the Eastern United states smell yeasty (i.e. "rotting" vegetable matter and sugar), a rather different smell than carrion though they take advantages of similar detritivore type pollinators. Definitely fetid but not truly a carrion flower. Anyone else have a thought? Earthdirt (talk) 02:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
