From: "Craig Allen" callen at fairchildgarden.org> on 2001.04.27 at 04:54:41(6280) Mr. Stinky Returns This morning it was discovered that our famous FG 931146B Amorphophallus titanum, a.k.a. Mr. Stinky, is in the process of blooming. The inflorescence in currently 24" tall but the white spadix can only be seen by carefully opening the scape bract. Starting next week there will be regular updated to Fairchild Garden's web site with daily measurements. There will be new photos added over the course of the Titans development. Keep tuned for further developments. Titan Watch begins in earnest! Amorphophallus gigas: the huge inflorescence had its most fragrant day yesterday. It will begin to deteriorate over the next several days. Amorphophallus haematospadix opened up. It isn't huge but it is very beautiful. Amorphophallus prainii: a second smaller flower opened up yesterday Craig M.
