Re: Ulearum blooming

From: GeoffAroid at aol.com on 2002.05.15 at 02:46:52(8792) tsuh yang, Yes, my Ulearum is sagittatum courtesy of David Scherberich. Yours is a new species? (Can you see me drooling already, my skin is a delicate shade of green.....). Regarding the smell of sumawongii the phenomenon of odours actually increasing or changing with distance from the source is a common one and occurs in other organisms too. My other specialty is fungi and several stinkhorn fungi (Phallus species) smell completely different at a distance than they do closeup (foul closeup, of hycinth from afar). Perhaps some change occurs when the molecules are diffused through the air. I believe Amyl acetate, which is used in the food industry, also tastes and smells very differently depending upon the concentration. Regards, Geoffrey Kibby
