It's the flowers that gross you out?!?

The flowers of mine smell semi pleasant...

It's the plant itself that stinks...

Crazy!

I guess you could toss a pod in my box when you send it...

I'm now quite intrigued!

I think, without looking better, that u have ssp louisianica (sp)

It's a big upright shrub, It believed to have been bred by native southwest tribes for basket weaving and a subsistence food source...the seeds are good but too much work to hull!

The genus is thought to be a hold over from the ice age, where it was burr on large mammals....ouch!
