What a stinker

Stinking Iris (Iris foetidissima), aka Roast Beef Plant, has a pale, delicate flower that can go almost unnoticed.  It gets its name from the smell of the crushed leaves which some people say is beefy.  

They are flowering now in Vilner Lane Wood.  

In autumn they produce these pods of bright orange berries, which last right through the winter.

These were taken in December last year.
