Carnivorous and strange plants, sentence 3

Other plants are strange in different ways: a flower a metre wide with no leaves at all, a flower spike taller than a grown-up that stinks of rotting meat, a desert plant with just two leaves for hundreds of years, and a nettle that injects you with its sting.

Who acts: Other plants, flower, grown up, nettle, spike · What happens: be, metre, grow, stink, rot, inject · To what, where: different ways, you
