Re: [Aroid-l] Good bulbifer, Bad bulbifer

Title: Good bulbifer, Bad bulbifer
Hello,
 
just smell a popular house Spathiphyllum, with big spathes early in the morning. First the smell is fresh but when you inhale longer it resembles cheese.

I?m surprised no one found this quote from Deni Bown?s Aroids, Chapter 2, page 54:
 
            Sometimes even the same inflorescence presents contrasting scents.  One botanist discovered that, after cutting away the enveloping lower spath of a Biarum inflorescence, ?the admittedly pungent aroma of the black terminal appendix turns unexpectedly into a sweet, gentle fragrance when the bolder nose investigates the more basal regions of the spadix? (Mayo 1980).
