From: "Craig Allen" callen at fairchildgarden.org> on 2001.04.18 at 15:07:17(6203) Amorphophallus update, Fairchild Tropical Garden A. gigas (#84) = 125", spathe partly open, expected to be open by this weekend Amorphophallus yunnanensis (#2317) finished Amorphophallus henryi (#2736) a third one is in bloom, the second one is almost over, 1 more to go. This one has a really nauseating odor that fills an area. The waves of stench are of short duration but repeated frequently. Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (#2741) about to bloom Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (#2318) about to bloom Amorphophallus muellerii (#2743) opened this morning... a sharp nasty smell but not too overpowering Titan Watch: Amorphophallus titanum (#83) = 11" tall and very fat. Still don't know if it is an inflorescence or not. Craig M.
