The “Corpse” Flower is One Day Old

The Corpse Plant flower will start deteriorating soon, so we enthusiastically (maybe Frankie was not so keen!) went to the “Gardens” for another close-up view today, and we’ll probably come back tomorrow. The phenomenal event has captured my imagination and I will not miss the next stage of the ‘flower’s short existence …

Yes Frankie! we’re in the queue again …

Yes Frankie! we’re nearly there

Yes Frankie! we’re inside and I can see the ‘flower’

Yes Frankie! we’re here, and the “Corpes Flower” is ours for few moments

Yes Frankie! the ‘Flower’ was big news in the newspaper today

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  4. I’m so excited that you and Frankie got to share in the life of this amazing plant/flower! Such a short life, but such a beautiful life! (Thank you for sharing it with us! 🙂 )
    What a powerful reminder that life is too short, so we must focus on the joy…finding the joys each day…creating joy each day…sharing joy each day. 🙂
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
