Thanks for this one! Nailed it.
ReplyDeleteI suspect no one will notice the smell in Washington DC.
ReplyDeleteWell, there is a lot of rotting flesh and there are plenty of insects around Capitaol Hill, so I agree with you. How appropriate, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it must be a relative of "Jack-in-the-Pulpit."
ReplyDeleteAlso like "It Came from Outer Space."
Rather beautiful -- in an eerie sort of way.
I like it, because it looks like it is giving THE FINGER to the current administration. It's location -- immediately to the right of the Capitol as you face it from the mall -- couldn't be more propitious, just as its timing couldn't be more appropriate.
So now John Conyers can say, "Hey, that isn't me."
ReplyDeleteWhat? We have two cities that small like Boston?
ReplyDeleteI hear it's a real "stinker". Should fit right in

FT,
ReplyDeleteit looks like it is giving THE FINGER to the current administration.
LOL!
It's a pod for Ted Cruz or Rand Paul.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it's homage to Anthony Weiner, who has been at it again according to reports today.
ReplyDeleteI believe that flower is a fitting reminder of what this current administration is doing to our nation.
ReplyDeleteThey should have planted it at the White House if it's only function is to keep the bugs off obummer and his maggots, er, I mean, family.
