We've Got Stinkhorns!

Enough. Said.

EDIT: Hmm, maybe I didn't say enough after all. These things are weird fungi that grow without prompting from out of the mulch. They have a strange odour, an even stranger appearance (those orange stalks poke out of puffball-like "eggs" that emerge out of the ground), and they are really good at attracting flies. Just one big "Ewwww" if you ask me.

ummm, not exactly sure what that is, something you planted? so it's either congrats or sorry, depending on whether it should be there or not.

I'm with Lisa, that's one cool "Ewww!"... for those of us who don't have to smell it, of course!

I had terrible stinkhorns, I learnt to pour boiling hot water over them in the heat of the sun and they were gone within a week.
