Cambridge botanic garden reveals rare orchid that smells like dead rats and rotting cabbages

Another tale of woe from my youth. I gave this as a corsage to my prom date.

I guess it wasn’t that bad. She only had to be kept in isolation for three days.

Three days after they revived her, that is.

I guess it’s just as well I didn’t get into Vampire Academy. I probably would have screwed up and given my prom date a corsage of garlic and wolf’s bane.

  1. For just a couple more bucks, you could have bought the “live rats and fresh cabbage” corsage. You get what you pay for.

  2. That’s a very specific smell. I’d hate to have been the scientist who was able to identify it.
