A fortnight ago I had in bloom:
Three konjaks,
Two Helicodiceros muscivorus
4 Arum palestinum (both the foetid and the rotten fruit
ecotypes)
6 Arum italicum
4 Arum dioscorides
On Easter morning I had around twenty Typhonium
roxburghii in full glory.
Right now I am in anticipation of my very first
Synandrospadix vermitoxus inflorescence. I have no idea about its odor, foul or
fair.
I love spring.

Lucky you!!!
Of all mine in the ground, the only ones up so far are
the Dracunculus vulgaris. I must have one of the "wimpy sissy"
clones. It only smells faintly - kind of like a dead cat in the next-door to
the next-door neighbor's yard.

Upon getting home from work yesterday afternoon, as soon
as I opened the
car door, this awful putrid smell hit me......and I knew
exactly what it was.
In the garden the following were in full bloom:
11 Amorphophallus konjac
1 Amorphophallus dunnii
9 Helicodiceros muscivorus
4 Dracunculus vulgaris
6 various Arum species
The scent of the tall bearded Iris never had a chance of
being noticed -- Spring
STINKS!
