Corpse Flower: A Cornwall and Redfern Mystery | 
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Today‘s haiku is inspired by the corpse flower about to bloom in Kauai. It‘s been growing for 6 years & will finally bloom this weekend. They named it Pua Pilo which is “stinky flower” in Hawaiian. Several years ago I got to see one blooming here on Oahu—they only bloom for a couple of days & yes, they are very stinky, but beautiful.
Pua Pilo stirs
a corpse flower sighs of death
sweet rot on the breeze
