Flowers that stink

I just visited a list of flowers that have a disgusting odor.  http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ww0602.htm#carrion

Flies pollinate these kinds of flowers. Orchids, yellow skunk cabbage and a whole lot of other ones that stink too. It isn't really important to plant these kinds of flowers in our gardens because we do not want to smell that stinky odor. And these flowers do not come from plants that make food for us. These flowers smell like rotting flesh and one even smells like dog poop! Most of the flowers we think of smell nice so I found it a little funny that there are flowers that smell gross. This is how I found out about these kinds of flowers: a bee movie I watched in the theater. It was called The Queen of the Sun.  http://www.queenofthesun.com/

When I heard that flies pollinate I thought, "What the heck?" so I wanted to know more about it.

What kind of animals pollinate?

I know a ton! This is a great list of them: all sorts of bees, not just honey bees & bumble bees. Flies pollinate flowers that smell like decaying flesh to us. Beetles pollinate flowers too. Lemurs and lizards also do. Moths, ants, bats, butterflies, wasps and birds do too. It isn't just honey bees that we need to watch out for, it's all of the animals I just said. So this is why we plant gardens. Make sure to have a really colorful garden and lots of flowers. Water with rocks in it is important so the animals can have a little drink. You need rocks because if you didn't, all the insects would drown when they tried to drink. They would fall in. So they stand on the rocks and drink off of them.
