Dracunculus is one of the few plant names my brother knows, it having been
firmly imprinted on his nasal passages at a tender age by the clump I used
to have. He calls anything with a stinky flower, and many things that aren't
particularly so, 'dracunculus'.

Dear Judy;
Dracunculus vulgaris to a T.
I have my sixth flower about to open. I hear it can get to 7
ft and the odor must be amazing.
