A Fly-Loving Flower 



The Chinese carrion lily pictured here, advertises to the 



flies to act as its messengers of pollenation. The spa.the 



frequently grows to eighteen inches in length and, as can be seen 



though rich and really beautiful, is of the same color as a piece 



of decaying liver. The smell emitted from this flower 



is offensive in the extreme — all an advertisement 



to the flies, which are carrion-loving insects.
