Re: [aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum

From: "David Ruland" <druland at atlantabotanicalgarden.org> on 2004.07.26 at 16:23:20(11823) I again will venture a guess...Maybe Wednesday. I am surprised how long it is taking. But it keeps growing. This morning I measured the height at 6ft. 2 in.

There is a sign next to the plant about how stinky it will be when it opens. It was odd to see people read the sign and then say they could smell it already, "just a little". I detected no scent, but the power of the sign was evident. Atalanta was experiencing some cooler weather so I suspect opening might have been delayed some. Maybe this week?
