The Jewels Revealed...




He is gorgeous, enormous, and stinky...smells like what avocados taste like. . . (Somehow, this makes sense to me.)

A scientist here at UC Davis is studying the sulfur gases - hence the bizarre looking wires.

Apparently Ted will be in bloom for 48hrs, so we may have to visit the stinker another time before he wilts and shrivels up.
