"Cererea Senatului de investigare a legalitatii proiectului Cathedral Plaza este o decizie care va pune Senatul intr-o lumina extrem de delicata, pentru ca el cere Guvernului si Inspectoratului de Stat in Constructii sa adopte o hotarare, incercand sa impuna o anume decizie. Inspectoratul de Stat in Constructii si Guvernul nu pot actiona decat in baza legilor, iar Senatul avea raportul de control al Inspectoratului de Stat in Constructii. Sigur, decizia Senatului este suverana".

This is maybe not the flower you would offer to your wife, but it is indeed interesting...

The large Indonesian plant, whose botanical name is Amorphophallus titanum, began opening up about 6 p.m. Friday and was in full bloom by early Saturday morning, curator Debbie Wiley-Vawter said in a telephone interview Monday.

The plant emits a stench to attract decaying flesh-eating beetles, flies and sweat bees for pollination. Once it blooms, the odor lingers for about eight hours, then it takes several more years before the plant has enough energy to bloom again.

How bad does it smell?

"It's like several days old road kill on a hot, sunny day," Wiley-Vawter said.
