Garden of Eden - turned away from God - ate the poisoned fruit?
Voodoo Lily
"A voodoo lily at the Minnesota Zoo has finally begun to flower, and the rare, oversized bloom, with its signature scent of death and decay, is bringing in a cloud of intrigued admirers.
"Everybody who has been in there can smell it," said Kim Thomas, the horticulture supervisor at the zoo, located in Apple Valley.
Thomas planted the ready-to-bloom voodoo lily along a pathway in the zoo's tropical exhibit, housed in a 1.5-acre greenhouse, just a few days ago, and said she was looking forward to the flower's promised malodorous show.
She didn't have to wait long. Within the space of about 48 hours, the 4-foot-tall bloom began to open. But does it smell?"
When the plant blooms, which happens over the course of several days, it emits the potent stench of a rotting carcass.
Flies and other insects with an appetite for destruction are drawn to the horrific smell, thinking a feast of decay awaits. In their search for a meal, the flies pick up pollen and inadvertently provide pollination services to the flowers.
The voodoo lily belongs to the same family as the aptly named corpse flower, which employs the same smelly pollination ploy. (Here's how one visitor familiar with the corpse flower compared the two, Thomas recalled: "He decided that ours was actually stinkier," Thomas said. "We kind of like that.")
The Phoenix Throne (eojwa) is the English term used to identify the throne of the hereditary monarchs of Korea. In an abstract sense, the Phoenix Throne also refers rhetorically to the head of state of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897) and the Empire of Korea (1897–1910).
The Phoenix motif [1] symbolizes the king's supreme authority.[2] The phoenix has a long association with Korean royalty — for example, in Goguryeo tomb murals like that of the Middle Gangseo Tumulus where the painted image of a phoenix is featured.[3]
