This is not a contest. There is no prize for identifying this flower, just the satisfaction of doing so.

Friends took me to the Nicholas conservatory 2 weeks ago and I saw one in person. (It had bloomed a year or two prior)

I think this is the corpse flower. I still don't know what #10 is. Maybe a rose tree?

You're right, Kelly. It is a corpse flower. 'Hardly a man is still alive...'

Looks like I stumped the panel with this one! More than two weeks have gone by and nobody has identified it yet.

It looks like it's designed for eating wooden posts! Actually I think it's a mushroom.

Nope, it's not a mushroom, but it does look somewhat like one, doesn't it?
