Corpse Flower Blooming in Houston Tx this week. 2010

Marg took this picture of "Lois" the Corpse Flower, (Amorphophallus Titanum) It is called Corpse Flower  because it has a rotten smell like a dead dog,  just before it blooms then the smell lessens towards the end.  It is in the Museum in Houston Texas which has been  open to the public 24 hours 7 days a week for the last few weeks. Over 68,000 visited this rare flower over the last week. It grew 69 inches, about 4 inches a day the last week.  It will only bloom once in it's life time.
Don Kennedy sent me a site with live video when this started and have enjoyed this rare wonder. Last one to bloom in the USA was back in 1939 (year I was born). Thanks for the Picture Marg and update.

Joy with Daughter Julie. Thanks for sharing the pictures You both look Great!

My Birthday from Luke! He is 10 Months old-I'm 71 years young.

I always love my birthday as my brothers and friends  call me. So Bless as we are all still healthy and living. At 70 I felt old and  had just  made it another year, at 71 feel younger and  look forward to 80.  Don K and I are the same age until his birthday on July 15 -my poor mother.   As kids we use to sit around the dinning room table and discuss the headlines in the paper. Jack K usually had the best points. My Gma Kennedy lived with us for many years so we learn early the views from around the world.

This little guy is only 10 months old, I wonder what his world will be like in 20 years, 40 or  70 years from now.  Keri and Matt are such good parents.  Luke loves the water and sure within weeks will be running all over the place.  He is just an inch from taking that first step.   

June 8 2010   Thanks all for making this day so special  for me.
