In Bloom

My mother-in-law Linda bought me this plant last summer when she was down here visiting. I have long forgotten its name, as I have referred to it as the "do nothing" or my "ugo plant" for months. Its a vine, planted by our front door and frankly Jared was about ready to dig it out because it smells like rotten fruit and the vines don't train very well so they are always whacking him in the face when he franticly races out the front door every morning.

But this week it FINALLY bloomed and we found out the stinky plant has an breathtaking side. The flower is bigger than my hand.
