Happy Spring Break! 🌱

We're celebrating by avoiding the terrible stench of đ˜ˆđ˜Žđ˜°đ˜ŗđ˜ąđ˜Šđ˜°đ˜ąđ˜Šđ˜ĸ𝘭𝘭đ˜ļ𝘴 đ˜Ŧđ˜°đ˜¯đ˜Ģđ˜ĸ𝘤, blooming now in the greenhouse. 💩

It's a relative of the giant co**se flower (𝘈. đ˜ĩđ˜Ēđ˜ĩđ˜ĸđ˜¯đ˜ļ𝘮) and to us, its fly-pollinated blooms smells worse! đŸĒ°

This tropical aroid is native to Yunnan province in China, but grown all over the world for its edible corm. This is used to make konjac jelly snacks, Japanese shirataki noodles, and other gluten-free products. 🍜
