Re: Amorphophallus titanum flowering at Selby Gardens

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1999.05.21 at 21:27:50(3382) Donna, I find this description of the stench interesting. The folks in Miami & Atlanta both described their bloom's odor to be disappointingly mild. Do you have any idea what accounts for the overwhelming nature of the odor in the Selby inflorescence? +More (Actually, I find the draw to the odor much like the Saturday Night Live skit that showed a family passing a jug of milk around so that all could experience how foul it had become.)
