Today is 30/10/20.
It looks a bit like we won't be having much Halloween around here, not that that bothers me, it is not a traditional holiday here. But the Christmas trees appeared this week, in the local shopping centre.
Hasn't anyone told them that Christmas is a couple of months away??
We also have a plant growing that might be totally appropriate for Halloween, it stinks! It smells like something has died.
Stink Lily, Dragon Flower and other names.
We were out tracing the smell to the flowers that have opened and have the incredible smelling stamens. The smell makes it rather easy, flies were already hanging around. It does get you talking to the neighbours and passers-by.
The flowers look like they should be good for ecodyeing but I am not sure that I will get around to that practice again in the near future. Maybe I can put some of them in the freezer, once they start to die down. I really love the look of them, just not the smell. Apparently the smell only lasts for a day but several flowers can mean several days of smell!
