That looks like two gel discs trying to swallow a white plastic reflector. Nature is amazing. Is this image enlarged?

Not enlarged much at all, they start out really tiny but can grow up to 3″ long (this was one of the larger ones). I just love their colors!

What beautiful colors! Wouldn’t know they existed without my DARLING ERIN! Thanks for the beauty!

They are beautiful…until they start to rot in the hot sun and then they reek! But it hasn’t really warmed up here so no stink (yet). 🙂

Do they smell like the “Corpse” flower? It bloomed in Tucson finally at I think the botanical gardens, wish I could have seen it, pictures looked quite pretty, but that was all that was pretty about it!!

I saw some of those photos, too! I’ve not yet had the pleasure of smelling a corpse flower so I can’t compare the two. However, I will say that Velella velellas can wash ashore by the hundreds of thousands, so the aroma can be overpowering!
