…SEE BEAUTIFUL
It’s not easy to see beautiful things with a heavy heart, butt this time I found something what’s beautiful and interesting at the second look. And I found something what looks beautiful, butt with a bad feature… naaah, not my mom’s cheesecake… It is this one:
a carrion flower (Orbea variegata).
It looks beautiful and it’s impressing that such a mousy thingy can get such wonderful flowers… butt… the smell of that thingy is awful… really. Therefore my mom placed it outside that it can stink to oneself…
Butt the carrion flower does that not to tease my mom’s nose, it stinks to attract flies… I mean the flower stinks, not my mom’s nose..
…and to get flies for free, a spider built a web directly on that plant…probably spiders have no sense of smell… I have to do some research to find that out…
that’s super clever, isn’t it? The flies come in droves and the spider has an all you can eat pawty all days.
Sorry, that the pictures are a little blurry, butt we wouldn’t disturb or harm that smart spider thingy…
We decided to give that spider a permission to stay and named it Machiavelli after the great strategian and schemer who’s my mom’s idol. That means she will probably end as a politician or as a jailbird… the mom… not the spider… or maybe both…
And this time Machiavelli was totally right with his saying: “One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others”. If my mom hasn’t placed the stinky plant outside, the spider wouldn’t be there and we would never learn how clever such a spider can be…
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY ALL

That is an interesting botanical specimen! Most living things would probably have to unstink themselves in order to get their nasty on. The carrion flower only gets some BECAUSE it stinks. I’ll try forgoing the bath for a few weeks to see if this can work for us furry creatures as well…
What a clever spider, soon to be a fat spider I guess ?

Lucky spider he lives in an all day free buffet. He is going to be one fat spider thinking less of strategy more of snackagey. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Indeed – a very lucky chain of events – stinky plant goes outside/spider knows flies are hanging around Mr. Stinky/spider gets his meals and Mr. Stinky gets to be – well – stinky!!!!! It’s a win/win!!
Hugs, Sammy

That is one smart spider!

wow Easy that is a cool flower. You and I smell poop and butts so I am sure it is not that bad
That is a cool flower! I actually have a photo of one coming up in a post from the same garden I posted about today. They smell BAAAAAD! Like rotting meat. Yuuuck!
Very pretty tho! 😀
What a very clever spider – have you checked to see if it has a clothes peg on its nose?
So interesting!! I like the plant and the flower it makes. I wouldn’t think it would stink! Clever spider to build a web. Nature is amazing!
Lovely flowers thanks for sharing

Sometimes brother beautiful can come in the form of stinky. YOU are a true see-er of BEAUTIFUL. If you can see the beauty in even stinky things then you are an expert in Seeing Beautiful. Butt that should come as no surprise you are a Wiem after all and WE are all about the beautiful. Have a Be-U-T-FUL day. I know you will.
Blessings,
Goose
That flower looks made of cloth it’s so pretty. The spider picked a good place and is lucky to have been shown mercy 🙂
It’s amazing how much smarter nature is than the humans sometimes. 🙂
What an interesting display of nature and how things all work out!

Such a great Friday post Easy! Spiders have to eat and this is one smart spider. I have heard of those stinker flowers before. The little flower looks like a starfish! Enjoy your day, night.. I need to see what time it is there in your bit of the world.
it’s 4:12 pm :o) and still as hot as in hell… I miss the rain… ooops did I say that loud?
53 degrees F here and we have had the rain we need to bust the drought. Hope the heat breaks for you. No, it wasn’t too loud.. 😀
Awesome post brother. Life is full of wonderful mysteries – just like that flower. The middle part of that flower almost looks like something from a sci-fi movie. I almost made water – snorts. XOXO – Bacon
Easy that is a gorgeous plant I’ve never seen or heard of it before…sniff sniff…I do think i got a faint whiff of it’s smelliness all the way over here. Helmut now has a friend in your garden.
Hugs madi your bfff
Dang, I didn’t know spiders were that smart either!
Hi Y’all!
Oh, I’ve never seen a flower like that! It does have a beautiful bloom.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Better keep your nose clear of that as those webs are sticky and will attach to your furs! Interesting flower but happy I don’t need to smell it.
What an interesting plant! Thanks for teaching us more about it!

Compared to today’s politicians, Machiavelli was a piker.
yes hahaha … uh I mean arrrgh yes! :o)
WOW WOW Fun for Easy
Hmmm, Easy…it sounds like that plant and that spider are working in cahoots! How wonderful. We have lots of spiders here and some are really good for the garden so we always let them stay…outside, of course. A Beautiful post, my friend.
Oz
You are such a benevolent land owner Easy – allowing that spider to stay.

I don’t really like spiders, and the thought that they are smart kind of freaks me out. LOL
We have a beautiful barberry bush outside my office window, and every spring it is covered with stinky yellow flowers! I’ll have to look next year to see if spiders are taking advantage of that.
How did you resist rolling it in if it smelled that pawfect?
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Howdy Easy. Wowza, we have the exact same plant outside too and we didn’t even know what it was called. Our angel Poppa had one and then gave us some long ago and only once have we seen a flower on it but it was definitely beautiful. We did not get close enough to smell it though. Have a grreat weekend Easy. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
I think I would like to fall on that flower and roll back and forth. I would smell delicious, which is the same as disgusting, which is Mom’s favorite word.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Those are some pretty cool flowers
Lily & Edward
HUH haven’t seen anything like that before!
Hope you had a good Friday and will have a great weekend. It’s quite chilly and also rainy here, feeling much like fall. Time to get out the sweaters!

Why such a heavy heart? You see beautiful is really beautiful. I think that flower is great and serves such a great purpose. Love that saying, thank you for sharing such great beauty.
It’s a unusual beautiful flower and it does a good thing. Golden Thanks for sharing and Seeing Beauty. Golden Woofs
So Easy, if it really stinked, how come yous did not try to roll on it? My hairy slobbery sister Cinnamon likes to roll on stinky things….
Kisses
Nellie
Is Mom going to let you roll on the stinky plant? Around here, people plant them outside because the flowers are so cool, but far away from the house due to the smell. I’ve caught many a canine rolling on them to get some of the nice perfume effect!
Pats to you Easy for such a lovey post. It made my day. I am going to look into to seeing if they have them here. I love plants both exotic and ordinary. The flower you showed us is very pretty.
Beautiful flower!
It reminds me of Bunga bangkai (corpse Flower) here in Indonesia. It is called corpse flower because it smell like corpse. > http://bokunosekai.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/east-java-trip-day-2-baluran-national-park/
it’s also called carcass-plant here , the smell is really awful
That’s very informative Easy 🙂 I wonder why the flies don’t flock to my bad smells… Maybe I need to put a flower on there 🙂
This is Purrime Ministerettes.
What you has to does wiz spiders, is following:
– smack body wiz front paw
– pull out legs wiz toothies
– nom body
– nap
And no gets arrested like we didded! Thank Cat mom paid bail.
Oh I remember the video and I went to youtube to watch it again. That should be a movie with a red carpet and all zip&zap :o)
No, purrple carpet. We is red and blue. You knowings that? XXXX
how about a red and a blue and tons of catnip bouquets?
This Jaya. Shiva no can has. I can has. So only red.
why? is she too shy to walk on the red carpet?
No, too fat.
hahahaha… like my ole momma… :o)
Thanks for giving another explanation for the expression “stinky goodness”. I’ve never seen that plant and it made my day!
Easy your Mom was very philosophical with that last quote! Love the plant and spider 🙂 Great way to see beautiful my friend! Please don’t let the sads get you down, even though we understand, it has been a rough couple of weeks for sure.
Marty and the Gang
Your Mom is very clever and so is Mr Spider
That IS a most bee-U-tiful flower….spiders, stink and all 🙂
Wyatt
That spider must have a very good nose plug.
Natural fly control…lol.
Those carrion plant really stink… your mom is brave growing one of those!
