Re: [aroid-l] Amorphophallus titanum

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.

	I visited the garden last Tuesday and the unopened 
inflorescence was close to the picture for July 22. 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?
