One is my observation of the "stink" cactus, which i am always photographing........the relatively
uninteresting cactus produces these monstrous yellow flowers which attract these other-wordly
flies that, in turn, lay their eggs within the stinky anthers......the tiny maggots become food for the
birds and insects that are not repelled by the awful smell of rotting, putrified flesh that the beautiful
flowers produce.........then the gigantic flowers collapse into soft velvet and drop to the earth, exhausted......
