Bunganya kuning cerah seperti terompet. Namun. hingga berbuah pun tidak muncul kantong. apalagi menangkap serangga. Bentuknya seperti scrotum pada alat kelamin laki-laki Makanya dinamai alat kelamin semar hehehehe. kenangnya sambil tertawa. Tanaman itu tak lain adalah bunga ginje (Thevetla peruviana).

Semakin sering kecele. semakin penasaran dengan yang namanya kantong semar. Suatu ketika Adrian menemukan tanaman dikerumuni lalat. Baunya pun dahsyat. Dengan semangat ia mendekati tanaman itu. Tetapi mengapa lalatnya tidak dimangsa. Ternyata saya menemukan Amorpophalus.’ kata Adrian. Tanaman yang juga disebut bunga bangkai itu memang menarik lalat lantaran baunya.
