Dear Christopher,
Synandrospadix vermitoxus will produce a strange, non-offensive, sort of very weak spice/''chemical-like'' odor. I`ll be interested in hearing what your perceptions of it are, as everyone seems to smell differently.
Good Luck and Good Growing.

Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Spring STINKS!

A fortnight ago I had in bloom:

Three konjaks,

Two Helicodiceros muscivorus

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

6 Arum italicum

4 Arum dioscorides

On Easter morning I had around twenty Typhonium
roxburghii in full glory.

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

I love spring.
