From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi) on 2002.05.14 at 18:41:07(8773) Dear Lord P. and tsuh yang, I have to correct my last comments. Last night I had to keep my "wintergarten"-windows closed due to low temperatures and this morning I was irritated by a strange sweetand damp odor, when I entered the wintergarten. First I thought that it came from an insectizide I sprayed some days ago, but that smell is different. So it have been must been the tiny sumawongii that filled the room with it's scent - remarkable for such a small flower. However, sniffing directly at the flower, I still do not notice that scent stronger. So the Lord is probably right and tsuh yang has to put his sumawongii in a closed room. Cheers, Bernhard. +More "StroWi" schrieb: > schrieb: > > In a message dated 5/12/2002 12:38:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > > hetter@worldonline.nl writes: > > > > > Another guy who needs a serious nose job............. > > > Lord P. > > > > no, really. there's no odor at all. it's also a tiny little thing so maybe > > it needs to grow bigger first... > > > > tsuh yang in NY > > Dear tsuh yang, > > same thing over here in Germany; small flower, no odor. > > I guess Lord P. has some kind of hypersinsitivity to Amorph smells; some kind of special receptors binding a single molecule and creating an enthuthiastic storm between his his neurons..... > > Orinary people like us just have to freeze in admiration.... :o > > > Bernhard. > maybe truck with some kind of nose numbness :-( > > Dollbergen, > Germany, > approx. zone 6/7

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2002.05.14 at 20:54:12(8779) You know guys, you ain't gonna win this one. I have an active research programme with somebody at Kew who analyses the scent of Amorphs. If there is no scent on A. sumawongii, how come we have a perfect gaschromatographic graph for it, complete with oligomethyl-oligosulphides, that provide for the horrendous stench (comparable e.g. to bulbifer and muelleri) and a touch of anise scent (which I noticed) and turned up in the graphs as a small peak of 4-methoxyphenethylalcohol, other wise known as "anise oil". Try to +More talk your way out of THAT one, you smarta...s !!!!!!!!!!

From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi) on 2002.05.16 at 21:30:47(8813) Correction of the correction: I think Tsuh Yang can rely on his nose (and maybe Lord P. needs the nose job or at least a desensitization (let alone his nice HPLC-peaks....)). The putative sumawongii smell in my "wintergarten" was just a bucket of water with rotting alga under a shelf. (Embarrassing, but true; I only admid it for vindication of T.Y.)
