Re: [Aroid-l] Thoughts on GOOD SMELLING A. bulbifer

From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2007.06.25 at 07:15:20(15853) Susan,your lines remind me of my first Amorphophallus bloom.That early summer I woke up and I was irritated by a smell that reminded me of a mixture of sewage plant and road kill. I supsected the resaurant next to our house that they had forgotten about their kitchen waste for the last weeks....When I went downstairs my nose lead me to our wintergarten where this stench was so strong that I stopped breathing and I moved the blooming, I mean the albus in bloom, out immediately :-)Since that day I have a very close eye on my albus growing inside.....Happy sniffing ;-)BernhardDollbergen, Lower +More Saxony, GermanyUSDA zone 7======================================================This morning I walked out on our porch and called to Harry: "I smell gas!!" which is odd since we have electric power. Then it smelled like road kill.... it was only after I read Julius' email that it registered it was an Aroid blooming (albus).P-U!Susan _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
