Heated Selloum

From: "brian williams" pugturd50 at hotmail.com> on 2002.05.09 at 01:57:08(8739) Went out to my fathers greenhouse today were we have growing a 9ft Philodendron Selloum. The trunk is about 4 or 5 ft and today it had a 10 inch bloom which had hardly any smell. Later in the afternoon about 8:30 PM I went out to it. The area around it smelled of old fruit. When I went to smell it I could defiantly feel heat coming from it. I am talking quite a lot of heat which really surprised me. I always have heard of aroids producing heat but I did not think you would really notice it. The spadix was very very warm. To bad I did not have a thermometer around. I would have liked to known exactly how hot it was. Tons of think is bloom here and just about all the tropicals I have for outside are planted in the new beds. +More _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
