I told you before that the chemical analysis of the scent is nearly 100% anise-oil. This is a pure scientific result. Now those who don't smell it obviously have a deficiency not those who do smell it. Of course, one could restate this in politically correct terms "Everyone has a different nose". Let's enjoy the diversity of noses. I for one can easily discern when a longituberosus is flowering in the collection even if I haven't seen it. The scent fills the enormous greenhouse totally. It's rather enjoyable. +More Lord Smellus > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: aroid-l@mobot.org [mailto:aroid-l@mobot.org]Namens > Piabinha@aol.com > Verzonden: woensdag 26 juni 2002 22:15 > Aan: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L > Onderwerp: RE: Am. longituberosus smell > > > your lordness, i have to go to work every day. i can't stay > home and smell the dang thing all day! :-) i've smelled it > in the morning and at night and got nothing... ok, i know my > sense of smell is not defective 'cause others in the list > could not detect odors in their amorph. inflorescences either. > > -- > tsuh yang in nyc > > In a message dated Wed, 26 Jun 2002 2:07:39 PM Eastern > Standard Time, "Wilbert Hetterscheid" writes: > > >You forgot to tell, like you did to ME, that you stuck your > nose into it > >HOURS too late!
