Mike Ball stood in line at the Franklin Park Zoo yesterday to take a gander at Morticia the Corpse Flower; pauses a moment to ponder the remains of Fester the Corpse Flower.

Thanks for the excellent report, and especially for the Fenster photo. Fascinating.

Morticia's husband was Dickens, not Fenster.

Madam Addams

As I recall, Morticia A. Frump Addams' hubby was Gomez. Alas for corpse flower corm namers, Gomez isn't sufficiently icky. However, her brother-in-law, Fester, literally reeks of foul naming.

And Gomez was John Astin, who played Dickens in I'm Dickens, he's Fenster. Fenster was played by Marty Ingalls, who was married to the real-life and TV mother of David Cassidy, who was not related to Lurch, played by Ted Cassidy, who also played Thing.
