This week’s Plant Record: Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer
As a bit of fun for the weekend Chris Bisson, the guy who maintains all the recorded information on Eden’s plant collection as our Plant Records Manager, recommends his favourite “plant records” – that is, songs that are in some way linked to a plant.
This week’s tune: Lily was here by Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer
Our Amorphophallus konjac is in flower in the Rainforest Biome and you’ll certainly know that that this Lily relative is ‘here’. It stinks! The Devil’s Tongue, as it is also known, produces vibrant green and scarlet arum-like flowers that uses it’s awful pong to attract pollinating flies.
This track was released in 1989 as a soundtrack for the Dutch film De Kassière and became a massive hit all over Europe, reaching 6 in the UK singles chart.
