Here's a cool one. Smells like steer manure; not so stomach wrenching as some stapeliads. The frilly things on the bottom move at the slightest breeze. They are metallic and reflective, and may look like other flies to potential pollinators, so passing flies think that there's a good meal down there and end up pollinating the plant.
