Eden Project Visit


Last week I had a bit of a break touring Devon and Cornwall and managed to get along to the Eden Project. There were loads of children since it was half-term all getting their faces painted for halloween. This is the fantastic Weee Man sculpture made out of scrap metal and electrical equipment designed by Paul Bonomini. More info here

I was looking forward to seeing the smelliest plant in the world - the titan arum. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately the flower was not at it's stinkiest - just the bud and another couple displaying fruits after the reproductive stage.



Since my photos do not make the size of the plant apparent below is a video which should give you a better idea.
