Great. I must have grinned to myself at least 3 times today. A sort of half-smirk, half-grin, which came out of nowhere. The best grin came while i was reading a book, which was going on about phenolic compounds in plants, when 2 words caught my attention. Voodoo lily Sauromatum guttatum. First time i've heard of this plant, but the name just was so hilarious. Imagine you are reading on and on about chemicals, then out pops VOODOO LILY. Which i have now found out to be an exceptionally stinky plant, attracting flies and the like as pollinating agents. Not unlike the Titan Arum. The grinning better go away tomorrow, before i look like a crankpot. Or maybe i'm already one. Drats. Wait i can't be cranky, if i'm rationalising it here. So, i'm safe!
Then again, which sane person grins to himself?

Haha .. don't be ridiculous, voodoo lily's a perfectly lovely name! Is it an aroid as well? Looks nice.
