STINKY FLOWER SKETCH

 
 
I have been craving some color lately, so dug out my inks to play with.  This is a huernia zebrina, a flower that blooms from a type of succulent house plant.  The flower when it blooms, gives off a horrible stench of rotting icky stuff in order to lure in its pollinators.  It is large, and has the most wonderful striped patterns to play with!  Isn't the world a weird and wonderful place?

Thank you Susan...I can't imagine this being a good houseplant! Maybe out of doors.
