A petition must be started immediately to pass a law to prevent you from owning any more plants(except the resurrection plant).

The Money Plant is actually called a Judas Penny where I’m from (Michigan). I’ve never heard it called anything else. I’ve got a bunch in my back yard.

I think there is a corpse lily in the New York Botanical Gardens as well. I’ve heard about this flower for YEARS!!! I’m sure that there are other varieties of this plant that are in the same family of plant that don’t smell as badly, but they also aren’t as large AT ALL!! This plant is pollinated by flies which is why it smells like decaying meat or rotting flesh. I believe I first heard about this in either 3-2-1 Contact or National Geographic Kids Magazines. I know I’m a geek. They were my favorite magazines when I was younger (well over 10 years ago). Anyway everyone have a great NEW YEAR!!!

wow, i can’t believe all the hype your “tickle me plant” is getting. that stuff grows in everyone’s back yards here, we call them prickles cos there are little barbs on the stems. it’s a weed, some people get it so bad they have to walk around on hands and knees pulling the stuff out with pliers.

I have managed to kill almost every plant that I have had. (Yes, that includes cactus.) I used to claim that I could only grow mildew.

Ever See A Plant MOVE When You Tickle It?
With the new growing kits from
wwwticklemeplant.com a green thumb is not longer needed, to grow this amazing plant. The sensitive plant more commonly known in museums and nature centers as the TickleMe Plant, closes it leaves when Tickled! Even the branches droop when Tickled! What is cool is the company guarantees anyone can grow this plant with the easy grow kits and high quality seeds. It even produces pretty pink flowers. I love the TickleMe Plant and the new TickleMe Plant party favors. I can’t wait to give the kits away for the holiday and the Mini-house- party favor will be great stocking stuffer.
