The Stinky Flower


Our local Botanical Gardens is a spot that our family has a new-found appreciation for, especially since Tessa was about a year old.

I've made many posts in the past about this place (and probably will in the future) but this was kind of a neat thing. The Gardens displayed their new "corpse flower" that had so many learning features. The flower lets off a truly putrid smell, and even heats itself up at night to permeate the smell even further. Here's more information: http://www.buffalogardens.com/products/corpse-flower

It's a rare event for this flower to bloom but when it does, people flock to see it since it only lasts hours.

I’m Stephanie, the mind and Momma behind The Heirloom Family. I created this blog as a way to capture the magic of our family and the beauty of every day slow and simple living. I also hope it serves as an inspiration to you as well.

Nestled in our little corner of the Earth in Western New York, I am lucky enough to share my home with my husband and our daughter, along with 4 cheerful cats.

We strive for a wholesome life, one that is slow and steady. I want to breathe it in, this time we have, and I might just be lucky enough to see the magic in it all.

There are so many things in life that I love – nature. crochet. photography. gardening. cooking. faith. honey. reading. sunsets and sunrises. flowers. ballet. enchantment. Dave Matthews Band. the moon. rainbows. babywearing. lavender and sandalwood. celebrations. music. hippie. poetry. love. the forest. romantic history. cats. dreamcatchers. wool. heritage. family. lilac. red wine. memories.
