Hello Julius, et al.!

Thanks for the info onSynandrospadix. Mine does not seem to have any scent at all. The spathe limb isodd as well (see attached picture, but please pay no attention to theZamioculcas in the background. I was given it to revive after someoneoverwatered it). Both AGOW and Deni=E2=80=99s book picture this species with a redspathe. What is the story on this plant? Wrong ID?

Thanks in advance,

Christopher

Dear Christopher,

Synandrospadix vermitoxus will produce a strange, non-offensive, sort of veryweak spice/''chemical-like'' odor. I`ll be interested in hearing whatyour perceptions of it are, as everyone seems to smell differently.

Good Luck and Good Growing.

Julius

Afortnight ago I had in bloom:

Threekonjaks,

TwoHelicodiceros muscivorus

4Arum palestinum (both the foetid and the rotten fruit ecotypes)

6Arum italicum

4Arum dioscorides

OnEaster morning I had around twenty Typhonium roxburghii in full glory.

Rightnow I am in anticipation of my very first Synandrospadix vermitoxus inflorescence.I have no idea about its odor, foul or fair.

Ilove spring.

Luckyyou!!!

Ofall mine in the ground, the only ones up so far are the Dracunculusvulgaris. I must have one of the "wimpy sissy" clones. Itonly smells faintly - kind of like a dead cat in the next-door to the next-doorneighbor's yard.
