With Halloween fast approaching, it`s the perfect time to appreciate the spookier plants in nature! 🎃
One such plant is the stapelia, also known as a carrion flower. To attract pollinators like flies, it releases a scent similar to that of a rotting carcass, making it a flower you definitely want to avoid smelling!
What are some of your favorite spooky plants? Let us know in the comments!

These are Arizona poppies, also known as Kallstroemia grandiflora! They can be found all across the Sonoran Desert and have some amazing adaptations that help them grow in our dry climate.
Once planted, these seeds will only start germinating when the conditions are just right. Their dormancy can sometimes last two years! If it`s too hot or too dry, they`ll wait for better weather.
So if you`ve planted Arizona poppies in your garden, and they haven`t been growing, it`s not too late! Give them some extra care and time and you just might see them bloom when you least expect it.
