Re: [aroid-l] Amorphophallus

The bloom is not unlike that of bulbifer, even to the point of having a
pinkish interior (and sometimes exterior, see the IAS website!!!) but a more
distinct constriction between base and limb. The smell is as horrid as
bulbifer and those who think it is "good smelling" probably originate from
Uranus................(no pun intended..........I think....).
